IN THE DARK
A Conspiracy Beneath the Renaissance
In a city built on secrets, the most dangerous truth is the one you cannot see.
Florence, 1482. To the world, it is the jewel of the Renaissance city of marble, light, and the untouchable Medici. But beneath the polished plazas and soaring cathedrals lies a rotting foundation of iron and blood.
Isabella Serafini lives in a world of rhythmic echoes. Blinded as a child, the Senator’s daughter has spent her life navigating the city by the vibration of its stones and the secrets whispered in its shadows. She knows that something is changing in the dark. The air in the cellars is growing cold with the scent of Roman gunpowder, and the ground beneath her feet is beginning to groan.
Luca Contarini is a man of lines and logic. A disgraced mapmaker, he was hired to sanitize the city’s plumbing only to realize he was actually mapping a path for an invading army. He holds the only set of blueprints to the "Unmapped Door," a subterranean breach that could bring the Republic to its knees.
When Isabella and Luca’s worlds collide, they realize they are the only two people who can see the invisible war being waged in the tunnels below. Forced into a desperate alliance, they must navigate a literal and metaphorical labyrinth of betrayal.
With a broken compass as their only guide and the weight of a sinking city on their shoulders, they have one night to unmap the Architect of Ashes or be buried forever in the dark.
