A master bookbinder discovers a mysterious tome hidden within the walls of a condemned monastery. Bound in human skin and inked with a language no one alive can read, the book whispers secrets from the future—and demands blood for every page turned.
Venice, 1683.
The city smelled of old water and older secrets. Canals sliced between crumbling
marble facades, and fog drifted over the lagoon like a veil hiding something shameful.
Pietro Velluti, bookbinder of the Scuola di San Rocco, moved through the damp
alleyways like a man pursued—not by any person, but by a growing weight he couldn't
name.
