First sentence: GUIDO MAFFEO was castrated when he was six years old and sent to study with the finest singing masters in Naples.
Description: They were the castrati--male sopranos whose glorious voices brought them adulation throughout Europe even as they were despised as "monsters". For Tonio Treschi, the child of Venetian nobility, kidnapped and castrated in a murderous family conspiracy, only one thing would soothe his soul--revenge!
