Bianca will have to be at her plucky, bright and adventurous best if she wants to find the answers to all the mysteries lurking in the dark city of Oscurita... This is the sequel to The Disappearing Duchess and the second in the Last Apprentice mystery series set in a re-imagined Renaissance Venice.

A Piece of Passion from Emily Thomas, Publisher   Imagine an Italy where Casanova wanders the cobbled streets and sips wine next to a Venetian bridge. And then imagine a plucky twelve-year-old heroine called Bianca - a painter's assistant - who lives in La Luminosa: a place very like Venice, but enriched by magic and dark secrets - not to mention a dangerous underworld. Bianca is the best kind of heroine - the unwitting kind. The kind that was minding her own business thank-you-very-much until trouble came knocking on her door. In this, the first of a fabulous three-part adventure, Bianca bravely goes in search of a possible killer, and uncovers some startling and dangerous truths in the corridors of the royal palace... It's a perfect, gripping adventure with a female lead to truly admire. Just don't try to visit La Luminosa yourself, you'll get lost finding it…
