Forced into a convent, seventeen-year-old Giulia relies on a sorcerer's talisman to plan an escape. But as an apprentice in Maestra Humiliatá's studio at the convent, Giulia's passion for art sets her on a new and dangerous trajectory. Strauss's depiction of fifteenth-century Milan employs a wealth of historical details, woven smoothly with magical elements and a compelling protagonist.
