Как отреагировал бы современный молодой человек, если бы по дороге домой из школы его схватили, затолкали в машину, привезли в непонятное место и рассказали, что его родители потерялись в далеком прошлом? Наверное, по меньшей мере, он бы испугался. Но не таков Джейк Джонес, житель современного Лондона. Происходящие с ним странные события - перемещения во времени, знакомство с удивительными людьми, рожденными в разные эпохи, и непосредственное участие в спасении человечества - он воспринимает на удивление спокойно и даже, более того, с интересом и удовольствием… А все только потому, что семья Джонесов - не простые обыватели, а сотрудники Секретной службы хранителей истории, с которыми лучше не вступать в противоборство…

Enter the world of Renaissance Venice, where the competition for fame and fortune can mean life or death...
Artists flock here, not just for wealth and fame, but for revolutionary colour. Yet artist Giorgione 'Zorzo' Barbarelli's career hangs in the balance. Competition is fierce, and his debts are piling up. So when Zorzo hears a rumour of a mysterious new pigment, brought to Venice by the richest man in Europe, he sets out to acquire the colour and secure his name in history.
Winning a commission to paint a portrait of the man's wife, Sybille, Zorzo thinks he has found a way into the merchant's favour. Instead he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy that stretches across Europe and a marriage coming apart inside one of the city's most illustrious palazzos.
As the water levels rise and the plague creeps ever closer, an increasingly desperate Zorzo isn't sure whom he can trust.
Will Sybille prove to be the key to Zorzo's success, or the reason for his downfall?
Atmospheric and suspenseful, and filled with the famous artists of the era, The Colour Storm is an intoxicating story of art and ambition, love and obsession.

Valentyne has lived many lives - physician, philosopher, soldier - but his defining work has been his ability to stop the clock. He has lived for centuries, as has his dog, Tomorrow. Inseparable, they've voyaged across Europe, using their time wisely. They've attended royalty in a dozen courts, healed soldiers on a hundred battlefields, and met with the greatest minds of the Renaissance. Until one day, in watery Venice, Valentyne vanishes without a trace.

Broken-hearted, Tomorrow begins a search that will endure for centuries. But as the continent collapses into war, he must risk everything to find his master - or lose him forever.
