After Gwendolyn’s close call with disaster in the Eye of the beholder, Giles sends her to Machu Pichu to recover. There she nearly loses her head with its flowing red hair to head hunters. She ends up in Portugal to start Giles’ next project, Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. There she gains the dangerous attention of a Venus worshipping cult whose leader wants to rid the world of redheaded imposters to Botticelli’s perfection.
