About the book

Venice, 1510

Maria Bartolini longs to continue her father’s legacy as a master gilder, but instead, she is sent away to train with Master Trevisan, a renowned painter.

Despite her plans to return to her family workshop and a secret lover, the impending Black Death foils her escape...

As the truth behind Maria’s apprenticeship is threatened to be exposed by the painter’s servants, she must go to great lengths to protect her family and their trade. Her sacrifices lead her to question whether it’s worth risking everything she holds dear...

Join Maria on her journey through Renaissance Venice in The Painter’s Apprentice, a tale of love, sacrifice, and the vibrant world of 16th-century Venice.
