'They will forget that we are flesh-and-blood women who have lived,
and who now die, at the mercy of those who judge us.' Palermo 1632:
Giulia is thirteen years old when she learns her mother Teofania's
greatest secret. Her mother knows how to brew an undetectable
lethal poison, which she uses to free the broken and abused women
of Palermo. Now Teofania wants to pass her recipe on to her
daughter, and Giulia soon learns that, in a time when women have no
voice, justice is sometimes best served in a cup of wine. Rome,
1659: Years later, Giulia ends up alone and poor in Rome. Within
the alleys and shadows of the Eternal City, she forms her own
circle of female poisoners, who work together under the guise of an
apothecary to sell poison to women in need. But even in a time of
Plague, when death looms over the city, it does not go unnoticed
that the men of Rome are starting to fall like flies. And with the
newly elected Pope determined to rid the city of witches and
heretics, Giulia is in more danger than ever. How far is she
willing to go to continue her mother's legacy?
