Catapulted to Perugia in 1504, Nina, Lorenzo, and Jamal find themselves witnessing the gruesome discovery of a corpse caught in the wheel of a mill. Among the crowd, a handsome and elegant young man is sketching the scene: it is Raphael. Becoming friends, the three youngsters and the painter join forces to solve the mystery. But when the artist receives a prestigious invitation from Florence, they all set off in haste. Raphael is eager to reach the city not only for the commission, but also to find his beloved Lucetta, the innkeeper’s daughter who seems to have vanished into thin air.

  • 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.
