A TRIP OF A LIFETIME. A 433-YEAR-OLD MURDER. AN ANCIENT ORDER THAT WILL KILL TO SILENCE THE TRUTH.
A 400-year-old murder. A disembodied whisper: “Amore mio.” My love.
Nick and Julia O'Connor's dream trip to Venice collapses when a haunting voice reaches out to Nick from Tintoretto's Paradise, the world's largest oil painting.
With Julia's artwork at the Venice Biennale, the most important milestone of her career is disrupted by her husband's mental state. Nick, however, is adamant the voice belongs to a woman from the 16th century—his soul mate from a previous life. He discovers a religious order that has developed a method of extracting people's souls, which they imprison in the canvas. Over the centuries, they've judged thousands of souls and sentenced them to eternal purgatory.
As infatuation with the past clouds his commitment to a present-day wife, Nick must right an age-old wrong—destroy Paradise and liberate his soul mate. But freeing her would allow all the souls to be reborn.
The order will never let that happen.

PAINTER OF THE DAMNED
A soul mate trapped in purgatory.
Dangerous alliances.
The quest for ultimate power.
After escaping Venice with their lives, Nick & Julia O’Connor have one goal: return home so they can end their nightmare vacation. But before they reach the American consulate, they’re captured by Interpol and returned to Venice.
Behind Nick’s detention is Salvatore della Porta, the corrupt head of an ancient, enigmatic order that controls Paradise, Tintoretto’s Renaissance masterpiece that’s also a purgatory for thousands of souls—including Nick’s soul mate from the 16th century.
Della Porta believes Nick’s previous life knows the location of a book lost to the ages. This mysterious manuscript will bring him world-changing power—or topple the order.
As Nick’s link to the past consumes him, it’s up to Julia to save her husband and crush della Porta. But with friends in short supply, she must enlist Carlo Zuccaro, unaware the young artist is the order’s new Painter and warden of the damned.
