A novel where it's both fiction and fact and conjecture to make the story move along. The framing story didn't quite work and the whole could have done with a bit more editing. I could see too clearly what the author intended and parts moved very slowly and then very quickly and overall I was underwhelmed but at the same time there was a lot of potential here, it just needed work.

Venice 1441: Maria and her brother Daniele arrive in the birthplace of their father, Niccolo dei Conti. An Italian merchant who has travelled far and wide, Niccolo has brought spices from India, lengths of silk and damask from the lands east of India and porcelain; a vase of pure white, its surface decorated with a cobalt blue dragon, the Chinese symbol of good fortune. Maria settles in her new home, watching the magnificent and bustling city come to life each morning from her bedroom window. But while her father is away travelling, she soon finds herself and Daniele in terrible danger. She must protect her brother at whatever cost, and she must guard the delicate vase.
