Great read

A classic tale between the forces of good and evil, with sides of romance, intrigue and history. Well written, easy read, a very good story. I’m curious about what Luciano will create next.

I enjoyed this book very much. Battles between good and evil are always a big selling point for me and this book doesn't disappoint. The authors have taken the very real Voynich Manuscript and created a great story around it. Loved how each of the characters were introduced into the story.
