Rome 1644: A
Novel of Love, Power, and Poison
Remember
tonight... for it is the beginning of always ― Dante Alighieri
In the heart of Rome, the conclave is
choosing a new Pope, and whoever wins will determine the fate of the Eternal
City.
Astrologer Mia and her fiancé Jacopo,
a physician at the Santo Spirito Hospital, plan to marry, but the election
result is a shock and changes everything.
As Pope Innocent X takes the throne,
he brings along his sister-in-law, the formidable Donna Olimpia Maidalchini,
known as La Papessa – the female Pope. When Mia is offered a
position as her personal astrologer, she and Jacopo find themselves on opposite
sides of the most powerful family in Rome.
Mia is determined to protect her
mother, Giulia Tofana, a renowned poisoner. But with La Papessa obsessed
with bringing Giulia to justice, Mia and Jacopo's love is put to the ultimate
test.
As the new dawn of Renaissance
medicine emerges, Mia must navigate the dangerous political landscape of Rome
while trying to protect her family and her heart. Will she be able to save her
mother, or will she lose everything she holds dear?
For fans of "The Borgias"
and "The Crown," this gripping tale of love, power, and poison will
keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
