In a fantasy future, magic has replaced technology and Venice is once again the center of a powerful empire, but everything is not as serene in the new republic as it seems. Magic users are going missing and no one wants to know why....
Stella is an unregistered magic-user, and a creator of tarot decks, two things that are illegal when they go together. She'll do anything to protect her secret, even ignore the attentions of the winged lion shifter prince, Dom Aladoro.
Dom knows power and what people will do to get it. As the heir of the most prominent shifter family in Venice, and a member of the Council of Ten, his life is one of wealth, privilege, and any woman he wants...except for one that he met by chance at Carnevale and who has spent the last eight months ghosting him.
When Fate throws them together again, their search for the missing people will take them from glittering palazzos to dockside brothels, deep into the dark heart of Venice, where money and power has always made the rules.
