What would you do if the Inquisition spied on you, ready to pounce at any hint of heresy?
Would you choose your faith or your life?

Verona, 1576. Heresy is fatal in late Renaissance Italy, but Martin Luther's book ignites a young girl's faith. She must choose--abandon her beliefs or risk everything.

Twelve-year-old Lucia discovers a dog-eared book by Martin Luther in her father's desk drawer. Her priest rails against Luther, but curiosity drives her to examine the arch-heretic's ideas for herself.

Lucia's father, Giordano, worries about his daughter's impulsive streak and warns her to keep silent about Luther. Giordano knows all too well the consequences if the Inquisition should learn of Lucia's find.

Lucia faces danger at every step as she confronts the plague, death, and the Inquisition.

If you enjoy a suspenseful coming-of-age story, you'll love this book.

A gripping tale of a young girl of Renaissance Italy...a superb example of historical fiction based on actual fact. Dr. Jeannine Olson, Professor of History, Rhode Island College
