Mask of Silence

Young Chiara Ciani, preparing for her first ball, dreamed of a beautiful dress, dancing, and admirers. She did not know that this evening would mark the beginning of a nightmare. After the ball, nothing remained but cold, emptiness, and death. The reason for it all — a mask given to Chiara by her brother. Four hundred years later, historian Stefan Yanovsky wants to find this mask and find out why the name of its creator was erased from history, while almost all of his works were destroyed. But what does Chiara herself want? Who is she now — a friend or an enemy? And what price will be paid by anyone who dares to find out?
