Cass’s fiancé
Luca is convicted of heresy and convicted without a trial to be executed in one
month’s time. Cass believes that if she
can find the Book of the Eternal Rose then she will have enough to free Luca
and convict those who have convicted Luca.
Cass goes to Florence to try and find the book, but she finds Falco, her
first love, and a whole slew of secrets that lead her into a life-threatening
situation.
I love this series, and this
second book didn’t disappoint. The
setting and time period are well developed, so when you read you feel like you
have slipped into another world. The
characters, major and minor, are well developed and you care that they succeed
at their attempts to free Luca. The
ending is satisfying, but leaves enough that I can’t wait to read the third
book. Good stuff.
