The attempted assassination of a powerful inquisitor threatens to shatter Venice\u2019s fragile balance\u2014 and the blame falls on Alberti\u2019s closest companion, the adventurer Niccol\u00f2 de\u2019 Conti.<br\/>To save his friend, Alberti must navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue, ancient vendettas, and forbidden passions, uncovering a feud between the mighty Foscari and Loredan families that reaches the very heart of the Serenissima. With the aid of influential allies and a love that still torments him, Alberti faces a ruthless struggle in a city as seductive and treacherous as the waters on which it stands.<br\/>At the center of the plot stands Jacopo Foscari, the Doge\u2019s son \u2014 the scarlet prince, beloved by the people and condemned by fate \u2014 whose enemies are determined to deny him his father\u2019s throne forever.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venice is a labyrinth of shadows.
