By day, Matt is an ordinary teen with dyslexia, afraid of losing his smart girlfriend. In Talia, the Renaissance Italy–esque country Matt "stravagates" to at night, he's a printer's devil working with Luciano, a traveler from previous series installments, targeted by the powerful di Chimici family. The fantastical setting and well-established characters engage readers as the multi-stranded plot unfolds.
