Masks Of Manovalo: The Eighth Book of Dubious Magic

The unlikely wizard John B. Stewart and his beloved Q are in Italy. Venice is very old, rich in history and tradition. It's also home to one of the world's great celebrations - Carnevale. Here, more than ever, John B. and Elizabeth learn that things are not always as they seem. Behind the music and partying, deceit and danger lurk in the shadows. Some of it is up close and personal, but some of it is ancient and may just unleash dark forces that threaten far more than the city of canals. Love and dubious magic must confront an old nemesis - the very embodiment of evil!
