Description
Introducing scribe sleuth Christine de Pizan in the first of an intriguing new historical mystery series set in 14th Century France.
Paris, 1393. Recent widow Christine de Pizan became a scribe to the Queen of France to support her family, but when she is called to the palace to work, she dreads going. There, everyone fears the king’s attacks of unreason, and they believe the charlatans who claim they can cure him with vile potions. When a mysterious book of magic leaves a trail of real murdered bodies in its wake, Christine has more than black magic to worry about.
One of the king’s favorites, Hugues de Précy, is found murdered and his wife, Alix de Clairy, is blamed. Can Christine prove Alix’s innocence and save her from being burned at the stake?
