Description
In 15th-century Florence, Giulia's life is marked by uncertainty and danger. As an orphan, she was forced to choose between becoming a nun or being married off to a man she didn't love. Instead, she turned to a life of pickpocketing on the streets. Her fate takes a dramatic turn when she meets a mysterious man known only as "the Magician of Florence". He offers her a job smuggling his talismans throughout the city, but soon Giulia finds herself entangled in a treacherous web of espionage and deceit. When the Magician is murdered, Giulia must navigate a complex landscape of alliances and rivalries to uncover the truth about her own past. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Giulia's pursuit by the authorities and foreign spies becomes increasingly urgent. Can she survive long enough to unravel the secrets surrounding her own identity?
