Descripción
Beatrice is the librarian of a convent, where she has spent years avoiding the company of her sisters and finding comfort only in her manuscripts. Then, on carnival night, two bleeding and gravely ill women are abandoned outside the convent walls. As one lies close to death, she presses into Beatrice’s hands a bewitching book whose pages possess a dangerous life of their own. Men of the faith want the book destroyed, while a zealous preacher has tracked it to Beatrice’s door. She must choose between protecting her sisters and surrendering to her obsession. As the book’s voice grows stronger and an ancient power begins to uncoil, will she dare to listen? This richly crafted, haunting feminist historical tale, inspired by the undeciphered Voynich manuscript, is suited to fans of dark academia.
