Tanith Lee concludes her compelling Secret Books of Venus quartet with a haunting and suspenseful tale set in her brilliantly reimagined alternative Venice. Centuries into the future, the sunken city of Venice has been salvaged from beneath the sea and rebuilt there under a dome. It is here that geneticists at the University attempt to resurrect two lost souls: Jula, the beautiful 1st century gladiatrix, and Cloudio Del Nero, the 18th Century composer who met his fate in the first volume. Soon a catastrophe occurs and unavenged spirits start to wreak havoc on the doomed city.
