Into the Lion’s Mouth

Set in fifteen century Venice. Nico must save the doge from assassination, or his beloved city will fall into the hands of its enemies.

I crept along the wooden walkway, circling the top of the tower. Sticking to the wall and well away from the open abyss in the center, I rounded the third corner and came to a dead stop.

Someone had climbed here first.

His back was to me, and he leaned out over the brick façade to look down into the activity below. Unaware of my presence, he adjusted his perch, and I froze.

I had found the assassin.

 

In 1498, an orphan can’t expect much out of life. But the Renaissance is burgeoning, and Venice is ripe with infinite possibilities. Nico is a child of the city, and his veins run with canal water. Rising above his lowly status, apprentice to a painter, just might be possible in the city of bridges. He’s determined to use his wit and wile to become something more than another errand boy.

But his hopes come crashing to the ground when he witnesses deception in Venice’s inner circle. To escape the vengeance of the corrupt Lord Foscari, Nico travels half a world away to safety. But danger follows him to the streets of Constantinople where he discovers a peril looms over Venice that threatens to destroy it. Now he’s forced to make a choice: stay safe in a foreign land and let Venice fall or risk his life to save everything he loves. Can he save his city, or will he lose his life trying?
