"The men go mad eventually - unable to separate themselves from the cats they control. The women? They fare little better..."
The words from Lin’s journal haunt Mika as she gains her Medici qualifications. Left homeless by his death, she tries to escape her grief by burying herself in her work, only to discover both old and new enemies waiting in the wings.
The Medici Chronicles follows Mika through nearly twenty years of her life as she disguises herself as a boy to survive, learns to become a Medici and struggles to find where she belongs.
The events in this book take place about five years after those in "Blood Lore."Book Two of The Medici Chronicles.
