When Charlotte wins a scholarship to a writing workshop in Venice with the charismatic and brilliant Luca Bruni, it's a dream come true. Writing is her passion - she loves Bruni's books, and going to Venice gives her the chance to solve a long-time family mystery about a Venetian poet deep in their lineage, Isabella Di Angelo, who just might be the real author of a very famous poem. Bruni's villa on the eerie island of La Calamita is extravagant - lush beyond belief, and the other students are both inspiring and intimidating. Luca's behaviour becomes increasingly unnerving, and as Charlotte begins to unearth the long-lost work of Isabella with the help of Dante, other secrets begin to rise too, from the past and about the present. As events build to a shattering climax, Charlotte will be forced to confront some dark truths about the history of powerful men - and about the determination of creative girls.
