Trento, 2010: Iris, a Renaissance historian, has moved from Boston to Trento.

Venice, 2110: Aster, a Lead Historical Preservationist, is overseeing plans to drain the canals of Venice, a sinking city that has succumbed to centuries of abuse and neglect, and turn it into a museum. Beneath the ruins of a palazzo, Aster uncovers a book that has the potential to rewrite history.
