The Night is the Queen of Shadows Summer of 1753: Master Tiepolo is painting the world famous fresco - The Four Continents - in the Würzburg Residence. Dragons, shady figures and puzzling hieroglyphics foresee the fall of the godly heavens. Lorenzo, the master's youngest son, wants to steer fate onto a different course. But a two faced jester and a mysterious beauty cast the court gardens of Prince Greiffenclau into chaos. It doesn't take long for the fun and games to transform into deathly seriousness.
