A legendary ruin. An ancient mystery. Will unveiling the past transform the future? In San Francisco, Madeline Moretti is grieving the sudden death of her fiance. Nothing brings her joy; not her family, her beloved apartment, nor the job she once treasured, where she fights for the rights of workers betrayed by a callous employer. Maddie's grandmother, a fiery Italian who feels a fierce connection to her granddaughter, sends her to Tuscany to heal. Maddie finds herself immersed in the restoration of a medieval garden, and in the mystery of a ruined villa. It was destroyed centuries ago in a legendary storm on the Eve of St Agnes, and known ever since as the Casa al Vento — the house of the wind. The myth of the young woman who walked unscathed from the ruins, so strongly recalled by John Keats' poem, will haunt Maddie as she searches for a way to step into her future.
