Publisher's summary

A soul mate trapped in purgatory.

Dangerous alliances.

The quest for ultimate power.

After escaping Venice with their lives, Nick and Julia O'Connor have one goal: return home so they can end their nightmare vacation. But before they reach the American consulate, they're captured by Interpol and returned to Venice.

Behind Nick's detention is Salvatore della Porta, the corrupt head of an ancient, enigmatic order that controls Paradise, Tintoretto's Renaissance masterpiece that's also a purgatory for thousands of souls—including Nick's soul mate from the sixteenth century.

Della Porta believes Nick's previous life knows the location of a book lost to the ages. This mysterious manuscript will bring him world-changing power—or topple the order.

As Nick's link to the past consumes him, it's up to Julia to save her husband and crush della Porta. But with friends in short supply, she must enlist Carlo Zuccaro, unaware the young artist is the order's new Painter and warden of the damned.

Brilliant book, brilliant narration

Painter of the Damned is unbelievably good. it's a sweeping epic that's even better than the first. The characters, the story, the mystery, the action, it's riveting from start to finish. I can't wait for book 3.

And beyond the book is the incredible narration. I listen to a good deal of audiobooks and I can confidently say this narrator is the best I've ever heard. And with dozens of characters of different nationalities, ages and genders, he had his work cut out for him. I don't know how he does it.

It’s a tie to for who is better, the writer or narrator

Samborn managed to do the impossible, create a sequel better than the original. I dressed the end of my commute because it meant that I had to stop listening. The narrator, Zac Aleman, is simply phenomenal! He expertly leads you through the many twists and turns. I can’t wait for the third installment!
