    • Estate 1461, Mar Ligure. Messer Angelo Bruni, diventato mercante navale e all'occorrenza contrabbandiere, abborda una nave proveniente da Avignone con l'intento di saccheggiarla. A bordo di quell'imbarcazione, però, si nasconde una spia informata di un complotto ordito ai danni del celebre cardinal Bessarione. Deciso a sfruttare a proprio vantaggio quell'informazione, Angelo pianifica di correre in soccorso del prelato, che al momento si trova a Ravenna, per derubarlo delle sue ricchezze con l'aiuto del ladro Tigrinus. Ma l'avventura porterà i due uomini più lontano di quanto avessero immaginato, fino a una torre sperduta sull'isola di Candia, dove Tigrinus si vedrà costretto a far evadere un famigerato nemico dei veneziani: il corsaro turco Nakir Pascià, suo padre. Bianca de' Brancacci, nel frattempo, stringe un patto con Cosimo de' Medici per far scarcerare il padre, da un anno tenuto rinchiuso nelle Stinche di Firenze, con l'accusa di omicidio. In cambio del favore, Cosimo pretende che Bianca scopra i segreti di una donna misteriosa, Fenizia Donati, e soprattutto che rintracci il prezioso tesoro di Tigrinus: la Tavola di Smeraldo

      "Paris, 1939: The Nazis think Éliane can't understand German. They're wrong. They think she's merely cataloging the art collection in The Louvre while they steal national treasures for their private collections. They have no idea she's carefully decoding their notes to ensure every painting can be recovered after the war. But Éliane is playing a very dangerous game. Does she dare trust the man she once loved, or will he only betray her once again? She can't know for sure...until a visit to a stunning home on the Riviera dramatically changes the course of her life. Present Day: Seventy years after the end of WWII, Remy heads to a home she's mysteriously inherited on the French Riviera, wanting to forget the tragedy that has left her life in shambles and taken away those she loved most. But when she discovers a painting known to have been stolen decades ago, she begins to question everything she ever knew about her heritage. Maybe the Riviera house holds more secrets than she's ready to deal with. Or maybe, to find the answers she needs, she'll have to learn to open her heart once again"--
