Venice, 1510.

The world’s greatest artists gather to enjoy fame, fortune, and colour. When a wealthy merchant discovers a mysterious new pigment, he knows it would create a masterpiece in the right hands.

For struggling artist Giorgione ‘Zorzo’ Barbarelli, success is far from reach. Until he’s commissioned by the merchant to paint a portrait of his wife, Sybille.

Impress him, and Zorzo could acquire the most coveted colour in the world – and write his name in history.

But it is Sybille whose eye he catches. And when their relationship drags Zorzo into a conspiracy spanning the entire continent, it is far more than his career in danger . . .
