In Renaissance Florence, a painter falls in love with his muse.Cypresses sway in the hot summer breeze and the Tuscan sun scorches the skin. Donadei Armati is on his way to a villa in the outskirts of Florence to fix up a studio for Leonardo da Vinci.As Leonardo’s apprentice, Donadei has enjoyed his time in Duke Ludovico’s court in Milan, making portrait miniatures for the ladies while his master works on proper commissions. But his life of idleness and productivity has fiddled away. It has been a year since they have left the duke’s court; a year since Leonardo has been travelling all over Italy; a year since Donadei has painted anything.Until he arrives at the villa and meets Lucia: the girl his master has been commissioned to paint and the girl that becomes his muse. But as the summer heat grows, so does hidden desire. What starts as a simple portrait sitting, turns into a delirious and forbidden affair which will risk Lucia’s reputation as well as Donadei’s life.A vivid novella set in the world of painters and knights; a gripping tale of yearning and artistic devotion that evokes the stickiness of hot summer nights and the heady scent of turpentine.
