THE MEDICINE SEAL

Italy, 1502. Fleeing from the dangerous thief and murderer Sandino, the young boy Matteo is rescued from a river by the great master Leonardo da Vinci and his companions. From that moment on, Matteo becomes the entourage's little helper, staying by da Vinci's side as he does his work, whether painting his masterpieces or dissecting cadavers, in the delicate search for the secrets of the human body. As Matteo and Leonardo da Vinci journey through Renaissance Italy, murder, lies, and revenge follow the boy, for he carries a secret that many would kill to discover.
