Taking a job as a chef's apprentice at the palace of the doge, late-fifteenth-century Venice street orphan Luciano becomes increasingly suspicious about his master's shadowy past and learns about an ancient book containing a dangerous power.
"It is 1498, the dawn of the Renaissance, and Venice teems with rumors about an ancient book of unimaginable power. An alchemist's dream, it contains recipes for gold, immortality, and undying love. Those who seek it will stop at nothing to get it; those who have it will die to protect it. As the storm of intrigue circles the republic, a penniless orphan is picked up by an illustrious chef and hired as an apprentice in the palace kitchen. With a precocious mind and insatiable curiosity, young Luciano embarks on a perilous journey."
"Luciano, a penniless orphan, finds himself entangled in the search for the ancient tome. But lurking in the wings are some of the most dangerous men in Venice, and Luciano's secret will lead him through a perilous maze to the center of an intrigue that will test his deepest desires and loyalties."
