What the hell was Cleopatra doing on lake Garda?
Attilio wasn't looking for anything. It was a morning like so many others on Lake Garda, on a paddleboard. Then, underwater, something ends up in the palm of his hand. An ancient ring. It shouldn't exist. And on the ring are three letters: CMA.

From that moment, together with Fiorella, Attilio begins to follow a trail that crosses two thousand years of history: from Roman Garda to Alexandria in Egypt, from Cleopatra and Mark Antony to a mysterious Community that has guarded a secret for generations. A lost ring. A forbidden love. And a question that shouldn't have an answer: what the hell was Cleopatra really doing on Lake Garda?

From a lakeside town to a Lombard abbey, from Amsterdam to Paris, from Cairo to the vaults of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, the search becomes a race. Because someone, after two thousand years, has decided it's time to reclaim what the lake has kept hidden, and some will do anything to keep the truth at the bottom.

Ironic, romantic, and full of twists, a comedic thriller that weaves historical mystery with a love story, walking the line between what history records and what the world was never meant to know.

A secret too big to remain hidden.
