In a world where divine wishes are conveyed through an Oracle, Mirany serves the High Priestess, who appears to be the sole intermediary with the god. However, Mirany discovers that the High Priestess is not receiving the god's messages as she claims, but instead is manipulating the selection of a new God-on-Earth for her own interests. This revelation sets off a conflict between loyalty and truth, challenging Mirany to confront the power dynamics at play and her own role in the unfolding spiritual drama.

Hers is the most famous portrait in the world. Here, in prose as rich as the high Renaissance, is Mona Lisa's tale: a story of passion, intrigue, loss, and, most of all, love. Elisabetta longs for romance, though she thinks she is too plain. Then, on a fateful visit to glittering Florence, she catches the eye of the great Leonardo da Vinci, and falls for a boy named Giuliano de' Medici. It is a dangerous time to be involved with a Medici. As tragedy and chaos threaten their happiness, Elisabetta faces the bittersweet truth of love.
