The publisher notes, on the occasion of the book: “
Florence, 1938
. The visit of Hitler to Italy presents the perfect opportunity for the Church, the Cosa Nostra, and the monarchy itself to act against Mussolini, but he, unaware and proud, only thinks about how to court his greatest ally.
For this, he prepares for him a gift worthy of an emperor: a Renaissance masterwork. One that would snatch away from the powerful Viel family.
But for Flavia Viel that masterwork is more than a family jewel; it is also the memory of her kin, the last link to a world that begins to crack, and the proof that she can still say no when everyone stays silent.
To recover it she must turn to Juan Rezola, the man she loved and lost, a forger capable of turning a lie into a form of justice and the only one who sees the brave and determined woman who hides behind the seemingly capricious daughter of a banking magnate.
While Europe holds its breath and Florence dresses itself to welcome the Führer, Flavia and Juan will have to confront the past that separated them and a present that threatens to take from them far more than a painting.
Rafael Tarradas Bultó signs a grand novel of historical intrigue about a love that refuses to give up, a beauty that survives hatred, and the courage of those who dare to challenge power when all seems lost“.
