In 15th-century Italy, gifted sculptress Ravenna Maffei enters a deadly competition run by an immortal family to save her brother, exposing forbidden magic that puts her life at risk. Kidnapped to Florence by the powerful Luni family, she is forced into a lethal task by their ruthless heir, Saturnino, even as a dangerous attraction grows between them. Hunted by the Pope, who wants to use her magic as a weapon, Ravenna must choose between survival, loyalty, and love as war and betrayal threaten to tear Florence—and the balance of magic—apart.
