About this listen

One book can change your life.

Finding an old manuscript in the attic has always been a fantasy of Sylvia’s. She just never expected the fantasy to come true, or for it to lead her to answers about her mysterious family.

The silver clasps binding the pages contain rare magic–the same magic that might run through Sylvia’s veins. To discover a link to her ancestors means understanding the book itself, but it’s written in a code that proves difficult to crack. The only thing she knows for certain is that it was once owned by the Medicis, the powerful family that controlled Renaissance Florence.

With the help of Gabe and his friends, Sylvia investigates the book’s origins. But following the clues throws up more questions–questions they need help answering. Trusting others is not Sylvia’s strong suit, but with Gabe at her side, she becomes capable and confident. That is, until their trust is shattered when the book is stolen.

Uncovering the thief proves dangerous, particularly when someone is also trying to kidnap Gabe. With his own mysteries to unravel, Gabe’s private life becomes more complicated. Sylvia tries to keep her distance, but staying away from someone as magnetic as Gabe is impossible.

With so many distractions, can they find the thief before the book is lost forever? Or will the secrets contained within its pages remain unsolved, and Sylvia’s past continue to be a mystery?

This book is just as good as the first one in the series, and easily read in under a day. Just cannot stop listening to it when I start. The narrator is also perfect for the setting. Cannot wait for the next book in the series

2 weeks since Sylvia started at the library. Gabriel gave Sylvia the name of Mary Anne Fulgate as the last silver magician his family had contact with. When she gives the name to Professor Nash they hunt for an old paper board book in the attic. Oscar Bennett found the document dubbed The Medici Manuscript in his travels with Dr Nash.
Big plot holes! Chapter 3: “I needed to remember that I couldn’t trust this man” after they just trusted him with the priceless Medici Manuscript??? Big Duh! Here’s Your Sign.
The level of editing and marketing elevates this series but this one still needed one more round of editing.

A theft and a search
