16th Century/Modern Venice:

Grappling her own demons and the after-effects of a disaster, Fern battles to keep hold of her sanity as she’s snatched back in time and lives the life of Cecilia, a young woman at the court of Queen Caterina Cornaro, near Venice, in the early 16th Century. Luca, a local architect, comes to Fern’s aid when Cecilia embarks on a passionate affair with the artist Zorzo. Echoes of the past manifest themselves increasingly in the present through a series of startling coincidences until past and present collide, throwing Fern and Cecilia into mortal peril.

Can Luca keep Fern out of danger and help her come to terms with her own past?
