Grandfather's Pigments: The Complete Novel (Unabridged Audiobook)

Hear the opening before you buy.

LEONARDO DA VINCI HAS PAINTED THE FACE OF JUDAS SEVENTEEN TIMES. SEVENTEEN TIMES, SOMETHING ELSE HAS FINISHED IT FOR HIM.

Milan, 1497. In the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, The Last Supper is nearly complete. Eleven apostles look at one another, at Christ, at the bread. Only one space waits: a wound in the plaster where the betrayer should sit. Every face Leonardo gives it opens its eyes before the pigment dries. And now a voice in the wall is offering him one the world will recognise.

His grandfather left him a journal and seven pots of pigment no guild ever recorded. Antonio da Vinci was a keeper. He knew what waits behind painted surfaces, and what it costs to close a door once it has been opened. Leonardo has never wanted to read that journal. Now he has no choice.

With Salai at his side and the prior counting the days, Leonardo must finish the one face he cannot bear to finish, and learn what his bloodline has always known: the keeper does not save what he protects. The keeper pays for it instead.

WHERE THE HUNGER BEGAN. THE PREQUEL TO THE MONA LISA CAGE.

A Painted Souls Prequel. For listeners of Dan Brown and Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian.

THE COMPLETE NOVEL, NOT THE FREE NOVELLA

If you have heard the free Grandfather's Pigments novella, this is the whole story: more than twice the length, with six chapters the novella never had (The Road to Vinci, The Scrapings, The Eighth Name, The Boy Who Saw First, The Prior's Face, The Years Between) and the epilogue that opens the door to The Mona Lisa Cage.
