Description
Rome, 1659. Secrets are worth dying for. Girolama Spana lives in a house marked by a lily and a garden full of herbs, where many women seek her help for her mysterious balms, love potions, and ability to predict their futures. Her secret recipes are the women's most precious possessions, and their husbands' most feared. When men are reported dying in unnatural numbers, the gaze of Stefano Bracchi, prosecutor for the papal authorities, falls quickly on Girolama and her suspected sorcery. Girolama faces the greatest danger she has ever known, but she has always vowed that in life, there are secrets we write down, secrets we pass on, and some that we carry to our deaths. Inspired by real events that took place in 17th century Italy, this gripping novel blends a colourful historical setting with the pace of a crime thriller, creating a deeply unsettling and richly imagined story.
