Cicilia Nencia, the first female artist to be invited into the royal court of the famous Medici family, wanted nothing more than to live a peaceful and happy life among her fellow artists. But when she accidentally stumbles into a privately sealed chamber, she is exposed to the Medici's dark and ancient secrets. In order to keep her trust, Giuliano, the brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, devises a way to launch the art career of her dreams while simultaneously using her talents to solve an ancient mystery that she has unwillingly become entangled with. Can she continue to work in the Medici court after learning that they are in the midst of an underground battle? Can she manage to sever all ties with the Medici family and get out while she can, even after discovering her feelings for Giuliano?
