"The legendary Renaissance man and amateur sleuth is back in this exciting follow-up to The Queen<U+2019>s Gambit. As court engineer to the Duke of Milan, Leonardo da Vinci turns his superior mind to a variety of pursuits<U+2014>from painting to solving the occasional murder. After the deaths of two female servants, Leonardo asks his apprentice, Dino, to go undercover disguised as a woman in the service of the Duke<U+2019>s ward, Contessa Caterina. This should be easy enough, given that “Dino” is in reality Delfina, a young woman masquerading as a boy to serve as Leonardo<U+2019>s apprentice. Delfina is soon torn between her loyalty to Leonardo and her growing feelings for Gregorio, the handsome captain of the Duke<U+2019>s guard. But if what the Contessa<U+2019>s tarot cards foretold is correct, Delfina might be destined to lose her heart<U+2026>and perhaps her life."--Publisher description.
