Description

Venice, 1585.When 16-yr-old Laura della Scala discovers that her older brother, Beatrice, has drowned, she's given virtually no time to grieve. Alternatively, Laura's dad removes her in the convent where he intentionally delivered her decades earlier and requests her to marry Beatrice's fiancé, a repugnant old vendor called Vincenzo. Panicked, Laura betrays a strong person to make her way in to the Segreta, a society of ladies who deal in mere one currency—secrets. The Segreta appears like the clear answer to Laura's hopes.
