Who are the Medici brothers? And who is trying to assassinate them? Why was the Pitti Palace never completed? And what part does Leonardo play in all of this?
Leonardo da Vinci is remembered as an artist and inventor. But who was he before anyone knew his name? This family-friendly novel explores the history and legends of his early years in Florence. It also weaves a mystery of politics and power.
After writing dozens of fiction books, I was encouraged to try my hand at my first novel. Having studied Leonardo da Vinci for many years, he was easy to pick for my first story. He lived a fascinating life, so it wasn't hard to write a novel around his early years!
