In 1504, Cecilia, a lady of Venice, joins the court of Queen Caterina Cornaro-- where she catches the eye of a powerful stranger who will stop at nothing to make her his.
Summer 1989, and Fern, on vacation in Italy to deal with a personal trauma, finds herself pulled back to the sixteenth century to be drawn inescapably into Cecilia's life.
Intrigue and romance flourish at the Queen's court as Cecilia embarks on a passionate but ill-fated affair with a penniless painter.
Luca, a twentieth century Italian architect, notices a resemblance between Fern and the girl in a painting by the artist, Giorgione. He helps Fern cope with her visions while falling increasingly under her spell.
Echoes of the past begin to manifest themselves in the present through a series of startling coincidences, until past and present collide-- throwing both Fern and Cecilia into deathly danger.
Can Fern stay safe and come to terms with her own past?
