A Legacy of Silk and Shadows

About this book

In the waning days of the Venetian Republic in 1797, Caterina Morosini discovers an ancient, coded journal that reveals her destiny as the 'Chosen One'—the prophesied heir to a forgotten bloodline with the power to unlock the legendary Doge's Vault. Guided by Domenico Rinaldi, a cynical archivist and skilled smuggler who becomes her fiercely protective and passionately forbidden lover, Caterina must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of high society and dark catacombs. Through the journal, the narrative weaves a dual timeline, uncovering the tragic 1420s history of her ancestor, the assassin Lorenzo Tiepolo, and his forbidden romance with Isabella Foscari. As the ruthless inquisitor Pietro Valier hunts Caterina to harness her birthright for his own corrupt ambitions, the past and present collide. Caterina and Domenico must confront their deepest desires, decipher the bloody sins of their ancestors, and survive a deadly game of power and passion before Venice falls.
