Stravaganza City of Flowers

Intrigue, adventure and excitement: the much-awaited third title in the bestselling Stravaganza series
Sky doesn’t know it yet, but he is a Stravagante: somebody who, with the help of a talisman, can travel in time and space to the parallel world of Talia. With his own talisman, Sky is transported to the Talian equivalent of Florence, Italy. The city is beautiful and ordered on the surface, but Sky must beware, as much in the City of Flowers that appears beautiful is in fact deadly. He is propelled directly into the midst of battles between the rival de Chimici and Nucci families, who think nothing of sliding a knife between a man’s ribs for revenge. And as tempers are inflamed by the extravagantly orchestrated plans for a magnificent di Chimici wedding ceremony, Sky and his fellow Stravaganti must do their utmost to avoid further bloodshed, safeguarding both the prosperity of the City of Flowers and the personal safety of those they love.

A breathtaking, thrilling drama mixed with a very special kind of magic that continues the story of Luciano and Arianna, Radolfo, Falco and Georgia.
