Million-copy bestselling author Fiona McIntosh returns with a sweeping new historical adventure, taking readers from the bomb-shattered streets and hidden tunnels of wartime Malta to the breathtaking beauty of its Baroque cathedral, where art and love endure against impossible odds.

Fiona spent more than three years researching her latest novel, visiting Malta four times to learn everything she could about its history, from the Knights Hospitaller that built Valletta into a city through to WWII and the years beyond.

Throughout her research, Fiona was continually drawn to Caravaggio and wanted to familiarise herself fully with one single painting,

The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. Housed in the Oratory of St. John's Co- Cathedral, it is widely considered his greatest work and the only painting he ever signed.

Driven by a deep interest in the life of Caravaggio, having studied him in her senior school years, alongside a love for Valletta, its streets, its people and its history, Fiona McIntosh crafts a moving and unforgettable story about the power of love and the role art plays in illuminating the dark.
