Description
A lost Michelangelo sculpture. A wartime theft. A trail someone will do anything to protect.
Tianna Howard thought life might finally be settling down.
Instead, a cryptic message arrives containing just four words:
Mask of a Faun.
The phrase points to a real sculpture believed to be an early masterpiece by Michelangelo, a work said to have vanished during the chaos of World War II after falling into Nazi hands.
But what if it was never truly lost?
Drawn into a new mystery alongside her grandfather, Tianna follows a trail of forgotten letters, secret archives, and hidden wartime clues all the way to Florence, Italy. There, beneath the beauty of famous galleries and historic churches, she uncovers a dangerous search already underway.
She is not the only one hunting for the mask.
A ruthless art dealer, a shadowy criminal network, and Interpol are all closing in. To uncover the truth, Tianna must outthink her enemies, solve puzzles buried in the past, and follow the trail before the last evidence disappears for good.
From the Uffizi Gallery to hidden vaults and war-scarred churches, this is a fast-paced historical adventure packed with real art history, secret codes, international danger, and high-stakes mystery.
With Reno, her brilliant silver cat, and Echo, her sharp-tongued mynah bird, Tianna is about to discover that history does not stay buried for long.
Perfect for readers ages 11-14 who love:
• historical mysteries
• lost treasures and secret clues
• art, codes, and real-world adventure
• brave heroes and unforgettable animal companions
Can Tianna uncover the truth behind one of history's greatest lost artworks before someone else gets there first?
