The Forgotten Manuscript. Content Warning.
In the shadowed, forgotten corners of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, where history whispers secrets through the dust motes dancing in shafts of light, young librarian Elena Vittori made a discovery that could alter the fabric of time itself.

The signature at the bottom of the page sent a shiver down her spine: Leonardo da Vinci.

However, all of us know about the Hollywood industry is very dark, and merky.
