Moonlight silvered the lagoon as you and Matteo stood between the ducal palace and the crowded landing steps. Admit it, Francisco; your misty island never gives the Thames a night as bright as this. You step into this one-chapter preview with Matteo Giustiniani at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The gondola slipped on while Venice kept its murder, its politics, and its coming war unresolved. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
