Once Upon a Time, in Venice…
In the year 1491, during a steam-powered Renaissance, Rosaria Adalberto’s quest for a theory of electricity stands at an impasse. Though born of Venetian aristocracy, her status as a woman denies her the recognition and funding she requires to complete her research.
Her fortunes change, however, when a mysterious patron approaches her. Elated at the opportunity, she accepts his offer—and is plunged into the thick of danger and conspiracy. With her life, her companions, and her love on the line, will Rosaria take up arms to defend her future? At this Renpunk adventure’s end, what price must she pay for her ambitions?
Rosaria of Venice is the first installment of The Renaissance of Rosaria Adalberto. It is available in paperback on Amazon.com and in e-book format for Kindle.
