About this listen

Venice is alive with the magic and bustle of Carnevale.

A city of mysterious masks and gorgeous palaces, of riches, patricians, intellectuals and artists. And amidst it all, something new is being born: magnificent voices are soaring above the spires, astonishing costumes are being crafted, and audiences are being transported, for the first time, by the power of the Opera.

And beneath it all: espionage, organised crime, and murder.

Swordsman Richard Hughes has arrived on the banks of the Grand Canal looking for a simpler life, only to be plunged—alongside Phillip de Chambray, a remarkable woman unable to show her true self—into the thick of the murkiest, most dangerous European politics, at a moment when someone is trying to destroy the opera, and Venice itself.

Rich with authentic detail, this is the story of a complex world not so different from our own, and Christian Cameron, the modern master of historical fiction, brings real history to life in a way no other author can.

I have read and listened to many Christian Cameron books and this is on a par with his best. My only regret is having to wait for the sequel.
Peter Noble once again proves himself to be one of the very best narrators in the industry easily able to handle accents, genders, anger and love. Both are masters of their craft.

Magnificent from first word to last
