Description
Caterina's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of adversity. In 1452, at just fifteen years old, she gave birth to an illegitimate child, Leonardo, who would go on to change the world forever. As an unmarried mother, Caterina faced cruel treatment and had no recourse when her son was taken away from her. Yet, despite this hardship, she harboured a secret: a dangerous and heretical scheme to protect and watch over her remarkable son. This captivating novel imagines the story of Caterina, a brilliant young woman with a thirst for adventure and a deep understanding of alchemy. Set against the fascinating backdrop of the Renaissance, Caterina's tale is one of intrigue, danger, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
