Fan Casting Da Vinci's Demons

"In a world where thought and faith are controlled, one woman fights to set knowledge free. The secret history of Leonarda Da Vinci's tantalizing life reveals a portrait of a young woman tortured by a gift of superhuman genius. She is a heretic intent on exposing the lies of religion. An insurgent seeking to subvert an elitist society. A bastard daughter who yearns for legitimacy with her mother. She finds herself in the midst of a storm that has been brewing for centuries. A conflict between truth and lies, religion and reason, past and future. Her aspirations are used against her by the opposing forces of the time—luring her into a game of seduction where those who despise her intellect need her most. Leonarda must take up the fight against foes who use history to suppress the truth. A heroine armed only with genius, Da Vinci stands alone against the darkness within, and the darkness without. Facing an uncertain future, her quest for knowledge nearly becomes her undoing as she explores the fringes of her own sanity. Da Vinci throws herself into her genius and emerges as an unstoppable force that lifts an entire era out of darkness and propels it into light. Her story becomes a mirror into our own world, calling us all to join her fight to Free the Future."
