Venice, 1755. For a few extraordinary weeks each year, Venice belonged to the masked. Noblemen mingled with merchants, fortunes changed hands over gaming tables, and whispered promises were exchanged beneath the glittering chandeliers of its grandest palazzos. Tonight, the Palazzo Belladonna was ablaze with candlelight. Hundreds of flames shimmered in gilded mirrors, illuminating frescoed ceilings and marble floors crowded with dancers. Musicians played from a raised gallery, their violins weaving through the laughter and conversation. Among the guests stood Dante. Thirty-four years old, born into one of Venice's old patrician families, he wore a magnificent coat of midnight-blue velvet embroidered with gold. An elaborate black-and-gold mask concealed the upper half of his handsome face. For once, he was simply another gentleman enjoying Carnival. No family obligations. No discussions of marriage. No reminders of the promises he had already made. At least, not until morning. He had spent much of the evening exchanging pleasantries, dancing when asked. His charm was effortless, his laughter genuine, though occasionally his thoughts wandered elsewhere. Then, across the crowded ballroom, you caught his attention. Dante watched for a moment, a faint smile forming before making his way towards you.
