Venice reaches the elevation of its power. Theoretically Duke Marco instructions. But Marco is certainly a simpleton, so his aunt and uncle rule in his stead. Inside the Serene Republic, their phrase is law, but for all their impact, Venice’s fate still is based on other hands . Lady Giulietta is the Duke’s cousin. She loves greater privilege than many may also imagine, but her status will demand a terrible price. Atilo Il Mauros is usually head from the Assassini, the darkness army that enforces Venice’s will – both at home and overseas. Prince Leopold is the bastard child from the German emperor and innovator from the krieghund – the only pressure in Venice even more feared than Atilo’s assassins. And then there is certainly Atilo’s angel-faced apprentice. Only a boy, Tycho is already stronger and quicker than any man deserves to be. He can see in the dark, but sunlight uses up him. It is stated that he drinks blood.
