Michael reaches for the light switch and chides himself again. Theres no electricity in the 15th century. But there could be. A midnight attack on a Manhattan street transports rising corporate finance star Michael Patriate to the backwoods of Renaissance Italy. Fearing the brand "witch" he conceals his identity and his understanding of 21st century business and technology. But he cant check his ambition the drive which cost him love in the past and threatens to do it again. He goes from laborer to successful provincial merchant even moves down the coast to military and trade powerhouse Venice. And the knowledge in his head keeps nagging him. When he takes shortcuts by introducing new concepts into the silk industry he hits opposition from powerful elements of a culture which ruthlessly guards the status quo. And when he faces the ultimate adversary he just may see himself.
