'Sparkles with suspense and the magical power of women... I devoured this novel' - Laurie Lico Albanese
'Perfect for lovers of witchy fantasy' - Historical Novel Society
1348. As the Black Plague lays waste to Italy, Ginevra di Gasparo is summoned back to Florence after nearly a decade of lonely exile.
Ginevra has a gift-using the ancient practices of alchemy she learned as a young girl, she can heal the sick. But when word traveled of her unusual craft, she was condemned as a witch and banished. Now, the same men who expelled Ginevra are begging for her return.
She obliges, assuming the city's leaders are finally ready to accept her unorthodox cures amidst a pandemic. But upon arrival, she is tasked with a much different mission: she must use her collection of jewels to track down a ruthless thief who is ransacking Florence's churches for priceless relics, leaving mysterious vials of brightly colored liquids in their place. If she succeeds, she'll be a recognized physician, never accused of witchcraft again.
But as her investigation progresses, Ginevra discovers she's merely a pawn in a much larger scheme than the one she's been hired to solve. And the dangerous men behind this conspiracy won't think twice about killing a stone witch to get what they want.

'Magical in every sense of the word' - Katy Hays
'Magnificent' - Sarah Penner
'Get ready to be transported' - Mary O'Malley, Skylark Bookshop
