Description
In 1497, the Renaissance is in full bloom, and for Giacomo, a young servant of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci, it's a time of great uncertainty. His Master is working on the Last Supper, his most ambitious project yet, but the deadline is looming and the pressure is mounting. The Duke of Milan demands that the painting be completed by Easter, or risk losing his favor and facing the wrath of the city's shopkeepers. Giacomo knows that if Leonardo doesn't deliver, he'll be in grave danger. But as he navigates the treacherous world of Renaissance politics, he begins to uncover secrets about his own past and the mysterious medallion, ring, and cross that hold the key to it all. As the stakes grow higher, Giacomo finds himself at the center of a thrilling adventure that will change the course of history. With the help of a powerful stranger, he must use all his wits to outmaneuver his enemies and uncover the truth about his life.
