Now, as the Black Plague is ravaging Italy, the same men who expelled Ginevra are begging for her return.

But upon arrival, she is tasked with a much different mission: she must use her collection of jewels to track down a ruthless thief who is ransacking Florences churches for priceless relics the citys only hope for protection. If she succeeds, shell be a recognised physician and never accused of witchcraft again.
But as her investigation progresses, Ginevra discovers shes merely a pawn in a much larger scheme than the one shes been hired to solve. And the dangerous men behind this conspiracy wont think twice about killing a stone witch to get what they want...
