In 15th century Florence, orphaned Mura learn that her magical heritage makes her a precious prize in this vividly researched historical drama of love, betrayal, and witchcraft
Five-year-old Mura is a strange and bewitching child. Daughter of a Nordic mother and Spanish father, she has been tutored in both Arabic and the ancient mythology of the north. But when her widower father is taken by the Inquisition, Mura is sold to a Genoese slaver. In the port of Savona, Mura's androgynous looks and unusual abilities fetch a high price. She is bought as a house slave for the powerful Medici, arriving in Florence as the city prepares for war against the French. When the family are forced to flee, Mura finds herself gifted to the notorious Lioness of Romagna, Countess Caterina Sforza. Beautiful, ruthless, and intelligent, the Countess is fascinated by Mura's arcane knowledge. As the Lioness educates her further in the arts of alchemy, potions, and poisons, Mura becomes a potent weapon in the Machiavellian intrigues of the Renaissance court.

About the Author:
Lisa Hilton is the author of four historical biographies including Athenais, The Horror of Love: Nancy Mitford and Gaston Palewski in Paris and London, and Queen's Consort. She has written for such publications as Elle, GQ, Marie Claire, the New Yorker, the Observer, the Telegraph, and Vogue.
Review:
"A highly readable historical fantasy. . . . Hilton is a vivid storyteller." —Independent
"In the same way that Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles was a pleasingly accessible idiot's guide to Greek mythology, this is something of a crash course in the Medici era. A richly detailed page-turner which fans of Phillipa Gregory will love." —Red
