About the book:
Nick and Julia O'Connor's trip to Venice takes a dark turn when a voice calls out from Tintoretto's Paradise, a colossal painting that hides a sinister purpose.

Plunged into a labyrinth of intrigue and peril, Nick discovers an ancient religious order that wields the power to imprison souls within the artwork. For centuries, this order has doomed countless people to eternal purgatory.

Bound by an inexplicable connection to a woman from the past, Nick becomes consumed with a quest for justice. His mission: defeat the order, obliterate the priceless masterpiece, and liberate the wrongly imprisoned.

But the order controls more than the painting, with an ironclad grip on the city and secrets that could change the world—secrets they'll do anything to protect.

The lines between past and present blur, love clashes with duty, and the fate of souls hangs in precarious balance in this riveting dual-timeline thriller perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Daniel Silva, Diana Gabaldon, or James Rollins.
