Mystery

The yellow light of the future shines on Rome.

Nina, Jamal, and Lori travel back in time for the fifth time, and they must help Artemisia Gentileschi. Her friend and assistant, Ciecherella, has disappeared—she was the only one who knew the secret formula for the yellow dye that characterizes Artemisia’s paintings. Following the clues in the form of riddles from the magical raven Mercury, the three friends trace Ciecherella, a young dyer. The investigation takes them through hidden details in the painter’s works and a yellow cloth worn by servants in wealthy Roman families, navigating between the city’s slums and noble palaces.

The three protagonists will travel back in time to meet the greatest painters and sculptors of all time, and will have to solve dark mysteries before they can return home.
Intrigue, hidden dangers and plot twists and, of course, a little bit of humour.

She has worked as a waitress, entertainer, translator, librarian... and probably a few other things too.
