Ferrara, 1505 AD. Serafino, a talented young artist, becomes an apprentice under the guidance of Mastro Filargiro, one of the city's renowned artists. While Serafino finds love and happiness in his apprenticeship, his exceptional skills lead him on a perilous journey across Italy's feuding city-states, unaware that his virtuosity poses a threat to the pre-eminence of the Renaissance's established masters. As his life takes a dramatic turn, he must navigate a complex web of rivalries and alliances to escape the enmity of those who seek to undermine him.

Washington DC, 2008. Parker's first year at Georgetown High is drawing to a close. His father's appointment as Consul General in Florence brings a new chapter to his life. Parker eagerly embraces this change and befriends a handsome young man named Beppe. However, almost everyone around him harbors secrets, and the fifteenth-century palazzo where his family now resides unexpectedly reveals its long-buried mysteries. Despite being separated by five hundred years, Serafino and Parker embark on similar journeys of discovery, surrounded by fellow artists, assassins, princes, and jealous classmates who rage and scheme against them.
