'A gorgeous historical novel about the legend of female poisoner Giulia Tofana, brimming with rich detail and intrigue.' C. J. COOKE, author of The Lighthouse WitchesRome, 1656
In the shadowy backstreets of the Eternal City lies an apothecary - a place for women to take their heartbreaks and troubles. Herbs for childbirth. Tarot readings to tell their fortunes. An undetectable poison that can kill in four drops.
Alongside her circle of female poisoners, Giulia Tofana dispenses her deadly potion to free the downtrodden women of the city from their abusive husbands.
But even in a time of plague, it does not go unnoticed when the men of Rome begin to fall like flies.
With a newly elected Pope hell-bent on ridding the city of heretics and witches, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition on her tail, Giulia is in more danger than ever. . .
How far will she go for the women who need her help?
_
'An utterly captivating tale of poisoners and papal intrigue, this novel is a taut, thrilling and wholly immersive journey through Rome's underbelly. Kemp is an astonishingly talented storyteller, and her characters will linger long after you've finished reading.'
NAOMI KELSEY, author of The Burnings
