Enthralling historical novel set in Renaissance Italy, Naples 1633. Aqua Tofana – One drop to heal. Three drops to kill.
Giulia Tofana desires more responsibility in her mother’s apothecary business, but Mamma, always secretive, refuses to reveal the keys to her success. When Mamma is arrested for the Duke de Verdi’s poisoning, Giulia uncovers the darker side of their trade. Shocked, Giulia flees for her life to Naples, near Mount Vesuvius, seeking refuge with Aunt Isabetta, a renowned courtesan. Learning of her mother’s execution and its cruel nature, Giulia vows revenge on the Duke de Verdi.
Naples is controlled by Domenico, the Duke’s brother, who commands the city with the mafia ‘Camorra’. Aunt Isabetta, under his influence, urges Giulia to become Domenico’s consort.
Inspired by Giulia Tofana’s legendary life, this tale reveals hidden family secrets and explores how love and courage can triumph over vengeance.
