Summary

A distressing dream that inexorably turns into reality. The power of Caravaggio's genius merges with the great and arcane power of Magic, generating a nightmare that transcends the boundaries of Reason and Faith. A cunning and unpredictable serial killer who uses art as a tool to lure his victims into a realm where love and passion, cruelty and tenderness, seem to violently blur their boundaries. An astonishing reality where each individual is both spectator and protagonist. A prolonged terror in which Law and Justice will only clash after a harrowing final scream.

    At just fifteen years old, Veronica Fancourt is already turning heads with her compelling stories, inspired by her vivid dreams. Her latest publication is a gripping tale of heists and cathedrals, entitled “The Countess’s Keep.” It’s captured the imagination of everyone who chances to read it, including someone for whom it is no mere fantasy. Meanwhile, an employee of a coffee roaster in Trieste discovers her bosses are more than ordinary businessmen. She finds herself tied up in a dark warehouse as bait for a sister she insists she doesn’t have. 
The Duchess, savoring her successful spring, finds herself beset by twin threats to her empire, neither of which she can conquer alone. Her precarious position reawakens the darker impulses she’s worked tirelessly to deny. Can she call upon her friends—her only family—to assist her, or will her obsessions drive them out of her life forever? 
And why is there another voice in her head? 
The Duchess and the Indigo Child is the second installment in the Her Violet Empire series from author Scott A. Clark. This colorful new chapter of the series explores love under pressure, debts of family long forgotten, and coffee…lots of coffee.
