In Renaissance Venice, the deadliest weapon isn't a blade... it's a secret.

Angelo Mascari is a master swordsman whose greatest battle isn't fought for crown or country, but for love. When treachery strikes and the Republic turns against him, Angelo is forced into a desperate flight that leads him across the Italian peninsula and to the untamed jungles of the New World.

Across three sweeping parts in an epic saga, Angelo's quest becomes one of vengeance, redemption, and unrelenting hope. Hunted by ruthless enemies and driven by loss, he must survive deadly duels and perilous voyages to ultimately confront a single truth: is victory worth the sacrifice?

Blending historical detail with supernatural intrigue and swashbuckling adventure, The Swordsman of Venice is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of love that refuses to die, and of one man's fight to break the chains of an ancient order before darkness claims everything he holds dear.

One man. One destiny. One legend carved in blood.

The Swordsman of Venice is a standalone spinoff of the Painted Souls series, perfect for both new readers and longtime fans. This book is also available in three parts as e-book novellas.
