The Mona Lisa Cage: A Da Vinci Supernatural Thriller
Listing Details
In 1503, Leonardo da Vinci agreed to paint a dead woman. He spent the next sixteen years refusing to let her go.
Florence, 1503. A grieving merchant commissions the city's most celebrated genius to paint his late wife, a simple portrait, quickly done. But Leonardo carries the unfinished painting with him for sixteen years, across three countries, working at her face every day and never once delivering her.
The world will call it perfectionism. The truth is darker. Ground into her colours is something that should not exist, and the longer Leonardo paints, the more the woman on the panel begins to want.
Built on the real secret history of the Mona Lisa, The Mona Lisa Cage is a slow-burn gothic thriller about obsession, genius, and the hunger that hides inside a masterpiece. Book One of The Painted Souls series, for readers of Mexican Gothic, The Historian, and The Binding.
