Leonardo's Shadow
Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant

by Christopher Grey



      Giacomo has been with Leonardo da Vinci for eight years. The boy remembers little of his past or how he came to be the great artist's servant. Now a teenager, Giacomo desires to know who he really is, although Leonardo claims ignorance of the boy's background.

While pressing for knowledge of his true family, Giacomo becomes involved in his master's latest masterpiece, The Last Supper. It has been two years since the famed artist began the work and if he doesn't pick up his pace, Leonardo won't be able to pay his bills.

With shopkeepers threatening drastic measures, Giacomo must balance the curiosity about his true identity with finding a way to get Leonardo through this latest problem.

A gripping tale inspired by the most celebrated artist of all time, Leonardo's Shadow features enough twists and turns to keep the reader locked into this exotic story from page one.
