The latest installment in the critically acclaimed Stravaganza series begins with Matt, the new Stravagante.

Despite having a beautiful and very smart girlfriend, Matt is insecure because he is dyslexic.

He discovers that he is capable of traveling between two worlds when a leather-bound book transports him from his home in England to Talia, the parallel-world version of Italy, where he meets a fellow-Stravagante named Luciano-who is hiding from the powerful di Chimici family.

Luciano has just killed the head of that family in a duel, and is in grave danger.

Banding together, Matt and Luciano must resist the di Chimici family, who are on the verge of making a terrifying breakthrough into our world.
