The Magic Map of Venice Magic runs beneath the canals. And it's waking up. When fifteen-year-old Isabella Moretti stumbles upon a glowing map in her father's forbidden study, she has no idea it will rewrite everything she thought she knew about Venice—or herself. That same night, her father vanishes without a trace, and Isabella is thrust into a hidden world of ancient guilds, alchemical secrets, and maps that breathe. With only the mysterious map as her guide, Isabella must navigate a city of shadows, cryptic riddles, and enemies masked in deception. Alongside Marco—a sharp-witted apprentice alchemist—and Arabella, a defector from the deadly Guild of Masks, Isabella races to uncover pages of the lost Codex Manuscripta before a resurrected sorceress floods the city in vengeance. But every page of the Codex reveals new power—and new danger. The deeper they dive, the more Isabella realizes the key to saving Venice may lie not just in magic... but in the truth about her bloodline.
