Venice, 1644. A city of whispers and shadows. Where power is veiled in silk, and danger drifts through the labyrinthine canals.

Pierre de Beauvoir was once a nameless orphan—now, he is heir to a noble house and the keeper of a long-buried secret. The legendary Templar rings hold the key to his past and his future. His search leads him to the heart of Venice, where intrigue and betrayal await at every turn.

But Pierre is not the only one seeking the truth. Spies, traitors, and unseen enemies lurk behind gilded masks. In a world where loyalty is a fragile illusion, one mistake could cost him everything.

A Treacherous City. A Forbidden Mystery. A Fate That Cannot Be Escaped.

As time runs out, Pierre must outwit his enemies, unravel an ancient conspiracy, and claim his destiny before the Serenissima swallows him whole.
