Book One of The Velvet Atlas
Some secrets are worth millions. Others are worth killing to keep buried.
When renowned historian Dr. Emilia Vale inherits her late father's research, she expects dusty manuscripts and unfinished notes. Instead, she uncovers the first clue in a centuries-old conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite history itself.
Her search leads her to Venice, where forgotten archives, hidden passageways, and ancient symbols point toward an organization that has spent generations protecting truths the world was never meant to discover. But Emilia isn't the only one searching.
As enemies close in, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Lucas Thorne, a former intelligence operative whose loyalty is as difficult to read as the mysteries they pursue. Together they must navigate betrayal, secret societies, and a deadly race across one of the world's most beautiful-and most dangerous-cities.
Yet the greatest threat isn't the artifact they seek.
It's the brilliant man who believes history belongs only to those strong enough to control it.
As the line between truth and obsession begins to blur, Emilia must decide whether some discoveries should remain buried-or whether exposing them is worth risking everything she loves.
