[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.

La morte distrugge delle vite. E ne ricostruisce altre. E le lettere non inviate possono dare sollievo a chi le scrive. E per quanto cupido non possa morire, pugnalarlo aiuta, davvero. -Tratto dal testo- - Beh se non altro il tuo udito funziona bene. Si madre, ho detto Percy. E se a te importasse davvero di me, mi avresti ascoltato, cinque anni fa, mentre ti urlavo in volto che Percy è tutto per me. Sai, è ancora cosí. Lo amo ancora. Anche a chilometri e chilometri, anche a anni e anni di distanza, io non smetterò mai di amarlo.E non ho altri sogni. E non ho altri pensieri, se non le sue labbra sulle mie, se non la sua voce dolce se non il suo fiato caldo sul mio collo.E niente ha importanza da quando lui se ne è andato. Potrebbero puntarmi un coltello alla gola, sarei felice di morire.- . . . #7 in Oceano 24-01-2019 #10 in Percabeth 30-01-2019 #6 in Percabeth 9-02-2020

(ambientato dopo "la maledizione del Titano") Percy non ci poteva credere. L'aveva fatto. L'aveva lasciata andare. Ora, lei era a San Francisco con il padre. Non pensava che gli sarebbe mancata così tanto. Non capiva perché. Forse era solo perché ne avevano passate tante insieme, e gli mancava l'idea che, quando sarebbe tornato al Campo, lei sarebbe stata lì. Forse era ansia dopo che era stata rapita da Atlante. O, forse, più semplicemente era Amore, e lui era troppo cieco e testardo oer ammetterlo.
