Some secrets are written in blood. Some are written in magic.

'A Discovery of Witches' meets 'The Da Vinci Code' in this spellbinding blend of romance, magic, and history. It's perfect for readers who dream of finding themselves in hidden libraries and falling in love with immortals who have walked the earth for centuries.

Ancient magic runs through Venice's canals, and Dr. Penelope Bryne is about to discover she's been swimming in it all her life. When her academic pursuit of a historical Atlantis leads her to a mysterious palazzo and its even more mysterious owner, she finds herself drawn into a hidden world of immortal magicians and forbidden knowledge.

Alexis Donato has spent centuries protecting the secrets of the survivors of the cataclysm that destroyed the Minoan world. The last thing he needs is a brilliant, stubborn archaeologist disrupting the careful balance of his life, especially one whose destiny is inexplicably tied to his own. But as ritualistic murders plague Venice and ancient evil stirs beneath the lagoon, Alexis discovers that Penelope might be the key to saving everything he's sworn to protect.

In a world where magic flows like wine and ancient manuscripts hold deadly secrets, Penelope must learn to embrace her intuition and trust her heart. Together with Alexis, she'll uncover the truth about her connection to a lost civilization and face a choice between the life she's known and the love that could change her forever.
