Description
Ya Ling’s cultured life of privilege in Beijing is cruelly cut short when she is abducted and shipped to the slave market in Venice. When Mantegna sees her chained to a post, his initial intention is to paint her exotic beauty, but he soon he desires her company for pleasures of a more private nature. Ya Ling has two ambitions, to ruin Mantegna, then to escape back to her family in China. However, Mantegna’s latest commission, two huge frescos for the ruling Gonzaga family, make him invincible.
Will Ya Ling survive? And can she succeed?

Featured Reviews
An usual and enthralling story that mixes China and Renaissance Italy.
I loved this book even in the darkest moment as well as I liked the description of Renaissance Italy, so well researched and without the usual cliches.
The main character was wonderful, a strong and lovely woman that grows with each page read.
The entire cast of characters is well written and the style of writing is great.
A real page turner that you cannot put down.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Unbound and Netgalley for this ARC
