Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction that feels thoroughly researched but reads like a thriller, not a textbook.
You enjoy intricate plots set in a specific place and time, where the setting itself becomes a character.
You appreciate morally complex protagonists who can handle a sword and navigate political intrigue with equal skill.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward military fiction and find yourself bored by urban settings and spy-craft elements.
You want a standalone novel, not the beginning of a potential series with threads left to explore.
You're after light, romantic Venice rather than the gritty, dangerous underbelly of Renaissance politics.

About this book

Richard Hughes, an Englishman who once served as a galley slave, now lives as a fencing master in Venice. He has attempted to leave his ideals behind until he discovers an attempted murder near his home. This discovery draws him into a search for a red-masked assassin targeting the city's Libertini. Working alongside a newly rescued friend named Philip, Richard uncovers a conspiracy extending from Venice to the Vatican and beyond. The novel depicts Venice as a city of waterfront palaces, Carnivale, and gondolas, alongside sharp swords, lawless criminals, and ruthless assassins. The story is based on real events and set during this historical period.
