Stravaganza City of Masks

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

Stravaganza City of Masks

The first gripping book in the series, taking the reader into two vivid worlds – one our own, one parallel to ours and very similar to 16th-century Italy. Passion, intrigue, drama and adventure – enter the world of Stravaganza. Imagine you are one moment ill in bed, and the next transported to a world that is awash with deception, intrigue and glamour.

In a spine-tingling discovery, Lucien finds out that he is in fact a ‘Stravagante’ – somebody who, with the help of a talisman, can transport himself in time and place. But that is not all – in his new-found world it appears that he is integral to saving the city, Belleza, from disaster . . .

Swishing velvet, glittering masks, political intrigue and treachery, a demanding and imperious Duchessa – inspired by Venice, Belleza is filled with an extraordinary richness that touches all the senses.
