Sixteen year-old Bella de’ Cioni sees colors no one else can see, and this “gift” from the Fates allows her to kill without leaving a mark. She never wanted the Fates’ ability to manipulate life threads. Her only desire was to defy the guilds and prove that a woman can be a master painter; but when mercenaries from the House of Medici murder her father, grief awakens a vengeful side of her she fears she’ll never overcome. Embracing her deadly power, Bella disguises herself as a painter’s studio boy and travels to Florence to assassinate her father’s killers. But a dark secret lurks behind the walls of the Palazzo Medici, and there’s more to the colors than Bella ever imagined. Worst of all, she’s now falling in love with a man she���s supposed to hate.
