What if you cannot discern between good and evil—even if you have second sight?

Chiara, a young, clairvoyant Gypsy, arrives in Venice on the first day of Carnival in 1767. When she sees Luca Zeani with his face of a fallen angel, she believes him to be the man who violated her sister—the man she has vowed to destroy. Why then does her second sight show her a man surrounded by light when she is sure he is a man of darkness?

As she starts falling in love with Luca, her quest for the truth becomes all-important. At the same time, Luca becomes involved in a risky conspiracy.

Even when the truth is revealed to Chiara, danger and treachery threaten what she holds dear. Will knowing the truth be enough to survive?
