It began with the vision of a Botticelli angel on the journey to work.Then there was a visit by the Florentine ruler Lorenzo the Magnificent.After years of corporate servitude, it was as though he had woken from a long and dreamless sleep.Inspired by newfound feelings of joy and rebellion, he sets out on a series of quests. Guided by signs and the cryptic clues left by an Edwardian traveller, he travels the great cities of Italy in search of an old Roman dynasty.As he struggles to balance these strange, fantastical journeys with his everyday responsibilities, he realises he can never go back to the old life.And it soon becomes clear that he is not alone on his quest and that there are forces at work beyond his most fervent imaginings.
