Travelling to Italy in a cardinal’s household, Tom Swan reaches Venice and discovers a society shaped by banking, luxury, art and sudden violence. His languages and appetite for classical objects make him useful, while his uncertain status allows powerful employers to send him into places from which respectable diplomats can remain absent.
Swan embraces the city’s pleasures but quickly becomes involved in factional politics, street fighting and clandestine negotiation. The skills that saved him in France begin to turn a wandering scholar into an agent, even as every new patron offers both access to antiquities and another reason for an enemy to draw a knife.
