Description
THE SECRETS OF VENICE WILL NOT STAY BURIED.
Plunge into the labyrinthine canals of Venice with The Lion Weeps: A Venetian Thriller of Secrets and Sacrifice. A gripping tale of historical fiction where the deadly elegance of opulent palazzi sparkles during masked revelries, and treacherous, submerged crypts guard deadly secrets.
1610. Beneath the glittering facade of La Serenissima and its opulent balls in palazzi, a darkness festers. Gondolier Marco Alberti, haunted by a legacy of betrayal and a melody that twists his soul, is drowning in a debt he can never repay -- a debt paid in blood.
When renowned art historian, Anna Moreau, unearths a fragment of an ancient mosaic -- a lion weeping a vivid crimson tear -- she's plunged into a world of forbidden knowledge, alchemical secrets, and a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of Venetian power. A world where her own tragic past is somehow, impossibly, linked to Marco's.
Hunted by the ruthless Morosini family, manipulated by the enigmatic Concilium Umbra, and stalked by something... more... than human, Marco and Anna must race through Venice's labyrinthine streets and canals, uncovering its secrets. From crumbling cathedrals to opulent and enigmatic masked balls to underground brotherhoods -- they must decipher the truth behind the Arca Terminus, an alchemical artifact that could reshape history... or doom it forever.
? The Lion Weeps blends the suspense of The Shadow of the Wind with the mysticism of The Name of the Rose, set in a gorgeously decaying Venice where past and present bleed into each other.
? Where the lion weeps, the truth is hidden.
Fans of Dan Brown's intricate puzzles, atmospheric settings and blend of history and magic will be captivated by this fast-paced historical thriller brimming with forbidden alchemy, ancient prophecies, and a desperate race against time to save the soul of Venice.
Can Marco and Anna expose the truth before Venice drowns in a tide of blood and ancient secrets? Can they trust anyone... even each other?
One thing is certain: In Venice, even the stones have ears. And the Lion... weeps for a reason.
"The Lion Weeps" is a gripping historical thriller that will plunge you into the heart of Renaissance Venice, where beauty and danger dance a deadly duet. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Sarah Dunant, and C. J. Sansom.
