Venice, 1717. Fifteen-year-old Luisa has only wanted one thing: to be the best at violin. As a student at the Ospedale della PietĆ , she hopes to join the highest ranks of its illustrious girlsā orchestra and become a protĆ©gĆ© of the great Antonio Vivaldi. Luisa is good at violin, but she is not the best. She has peers, but she does not have friends. Until Maddalena.
After a scandal threatens her noble familyās reputation, Maddalena is sent to the PietĆ to preserve her marriage prospects. When she meets Luisa, Maddalena feels the stirrings of a friendship unlike anything she has known. But Maddalena has a secret: she has hatched a dangerous plot to rescue her future her own way. When she invites Luisa into her plans, promising to make her dreams come true, Luisa doesnāt hesitate. But every wager has its price, and as the girls are drawn into the decadent world outside the PietĆ ās walls, they must decide what it is they truly wantāand what they will do to pay for it.
Lush and heady, swirling with music and magic, Maddalena and the Dark is a Venetian fairytale about the friendship between two girls and the boundless desire that will set them free, if it doesnāt consume them first.
