A product of the Old World, he is also an escapee from its conflagrations, with the wounds to prove it. And everything about him is a lie.Now those lies have been unraveled by a mysterious young woman whom Vander calls Miss Nemesis. They are to meet in Turin, a city best known for its enigmatic shroud. Is her purpose to destroy Vander or to save him-or simply to show him what lies beneath the shroud in which he has wrapped his life?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819541266720,"sku":"NEW037572530X","price":16.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81NmeqG4a2L.jpg?v=1781134097","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/shroud-037572530x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
