Otrov

Fiona Paul

In Renaissance Venice, beauty can be deadly.. Cassandra Caravello had everything a girl could want: elegant dresses, glittering jewels, invitations to the best parties and an attractive, wealthy fiancé - and then again, she longed for something more.

Stumbling upon the corpse of a murdered woman, with a bloody X carved into her heart, Cass is drawn into a dangerous world of artists, secret societies, courtesans and assassins. Soon she begins to fall in love with Falco, a poor painter with a seductive smile who leads her at night through dark Venetian canals and lonely palaces, while they try to find the murderer. Will Cassandra find the killer before he finds her? And will she remain faithful to her fiancé or give in to passionate and unbridled feelings for Falco? Beauty, romance and mystery are intertwined in this novel, as seductive and wonderful as Venice itself.
