A killer loose on the streets of Venice. A girl with strange visions of murder. On the brink of WWI, their paths cross in this thrilling historical mystery from an award-winning Spanish author.
In 1914 Venice, Carla Herzog, a nobleman's thirteen-year-old daughter, has a chilling premonition of murder. When it comes true, her zealous father believes Carla to be a witch. How better to expel his possessed child's wickedness than to remand her to the headmistress of a brutal children's reformatory?
Condemned to a fanatical institution in San Teodoro, Carla's only hope is escape. After she befriends an orphaned girl and a rebellious teen boy, they dare to break free and stow away on a transatlantic steamer. But even greater threats loom on the horizon. A serial killer is targeting Italy's most powerful men, and Carla has become a suspect. Carla's premonitions foretell of horrific world catastrophes. And a betrayal not even Carla saw coming could destroy her life.
With Venetian authorities on her tail, Carla races to clear her name and unmask the real killer before they can kill again. But first she must discover the truth behind her mysterious powers and survive her own family's deadly secrets.
