Historical | Mystery
In an age of wonderous beauty and terrible secrets,
one
man searches for his destiny...
In the majestic heart
of Florence, a beautiful golden-haired boy is abandoned and
subjected to cruelty beyond words. But Luca Bastardo is
anything but an ordinary boy. Across two centuries of
passion and intrigue, Luca will discover an astonishing
gift--one that will lead him to embrace the ancient mysteries
of alchemy and healing and to become a trusted confidant to
the powerful Medicis--even as he faces persecution from a
sadistic cabal determined to wrest his secrets for
themselves.
But as the Black Death and the
Inquisition wreak havoc on his beloved city, Luca's survival
lies in the quest to solve two riddles. One is the enigma of
his parents and his ageless beauty. The other is a choice
between immortality and the only chance to find his one true
love. As Luca journeys through the heights of the
Renaissance, befriends Giotto and Leonardo Da Vinci...140
years apart...and pursues the most closely guarded secrets of
religious faith and science for the answers to his own
burning questions, his remarkable search will not only
change him...but will change the course of history.
