Zani: Feathers of a Lion Book 1

In 1513, at Carnevale in Bergamo, Silvio Speronelli kissed the girl next door, and she died on the spot. Five years later, he is a professional Fool, traveling with his noble Venetian patrons in an acting troupe. One rainy night, into the inn's common room walks Oriela Morèr, who has left her family's silk farm on Lake Garda in pursuit of the father she has never known. For his part, the wealthy merchant Pantalon Morèr is suspicious of the girl because of a secret that also involves Silvio's strange heritage. As they cross the Terraferma toward Venice, Oriela tries to fit into Pantalon’s enchanting world of stage and villa, palazzo and saltwater, while Silvio finds his heart growing enchanted with Oriela.
