In the shadows of Renaissance Florence, one painter's brush will capture more than beauty—it will expose deadly secrets that could topple an empire.
Florence, 1478. Alessandro Benedetti is a talented but unknown painter struggling to make his name in the world's greatest center of art and culture. When Lorenzo de' Medici—the Magnificent himself—summons Alessandro with a dangerous proposition, everything changes.
Paint a portrait. Uncover a conspiracy. Save a city.
Commissioned to paint the beautiful Maddalena de' Pazzi, Alessandro soon discovers he's been recruited as a spy in the deadly game of Florentine politics. Behind the elegant façades of Renaissance palaces, the rival Pazzi family is plotting the most audacious act of treason Italy has ever seen: the assassination of the Medici brothers during Easter Mass in the cathedral.
As Alessandro navigates gilded halls and whispered conspiracies, he must balance his artistic integrity with brutal political realities. Every brushstroke could be his last. Every conversation might expose his deception. And when he develops unexpected sympathy for Maddalena—an innocent woman trapped in her family's deadly ambitions—Alessandro faces an impossible choice:
Loyalty to his patron or mercy to the innocent?
Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, C.W. Gortner, and Sarah Dunant, The Medici's Shadow brings Renaissance Italy to vivid life with:
Richly detailed historical accuracy of 15th-century Florence
The infamous Pazzi Conspiracy that shocked Renaissance Italy
Art, intrigue, and political machinations in the Medici court
Complex characters facing impossible moral choices

Authentic Renaissance atmosphere—from artist workshops to noble palaces

When the cathedral bells ring on Easter Sunday, blood will stain the marble floors. Alessandro must decide: Will he be remembered as the painter who saved Florence... or the spy who betrayed everyone he was supposed to protect?
