A Novel

Nick Bantock

and Edoardo Ponti

With the same delight and drama that made his Griffin & Sabine novels such phenomenal bestsellers, artist and author Nick Bantock presents the unforgettable story of one woman's journey of self-discovery.

Ana, a striking young dancer, is promised in marriage to a man she doesn't love. No one understands her reluctance to wed. After all, isn’t Marco a fine man? Won’t the union of these two families benefit her people, the Capolan? And yet, only Ana and her grandfather see that the marriage will do her tribe more harm than good. Ana has no choice but to flee on the eve of her wedding. She heads to the exotic port of Serona, not only in search of hte elusive Felix Bulerias, a man reputed to have the answers she seeks, but also in search of herself. Along the way, the attentions of four unusual men threaten to lure Ana in directions that she could never have fathomed ... and lead her down a path of sensuality and understanding beyond any she ever imagined.
