The first book in the Italian Renaissance Series and my first novel by Deborah Swift was one of the best Historical Fiction stories I’ve read. I was mesmerized from the first Chapter to the last.

This novel has so much imagery you can’t help but feel you’re there. The intrigue, secrets, lies, and revenge in these pages had me saying “Just One More Chapter” until the end, which came too soon.

I’m anticipating the next book in this series. Deborah Swift is a brilliant storyteller and Diana Croft narrated this story beautifully.
