Is the Ability to Read Minds a Blessing or a Curse?
When Antonius's father dies, he must work to support his family. He finds employment as a servant in the Palazzo Ducal, home of Conte Valperga. Sixteenth-century Pesaro is a society governed by status and Antonius has limited opportunities.
When a competition is announced, Antonius seizes his chance. The winner will be apprenticed to the town seer. Antonius shares first place with his employer's son.
The two men compete for their mentor's approval. As their knowledge of magic and alchemy grows, so does the rivalry and animosity between them. When the love of a beautiful woman is at stake, Antonius must find a way to follow his heart and navigate his future.
"In this debut historical fantasy, two young men become apprenticed to a seer during the Renaissance, igniting a rivalry for the man's daughter...Best of all, Murdoch delivers wisdom valuable to anyone trying to master a field: 'Those who are consumed by negative thoughts about others cannot possibly reach the level of purity required.' Despite a clever, definitive ending, readers may clamor for a sequel. Italy sparkles in this layered 16th-century romance." --Kirkus Reviews
