A dark secret. A heart of glass. A love that lasts for centuries. Venetian glass: as precious as gold. To protect the secret of its manufacture, the city council banished the glassblowers to the strictly shielded island of Murano. When Corradino Manin, the most famous of the glass artists, dares to escape in 1661, he not only puts himself in danger, but also those he loves. Almost four hundred years later, the young Leonora Manin stumbles upon her family's legacy. She has no idea how closely the past is linked to her own future, how much her own happiness depends on Corradino's fate.
