The Bones You Have Cast Down - 9781939530929

In 1447, Taria is swept from a convent orphanage into the glittering retinue of the duchess of Milan. Lowborn in a highborn circle, she has never felt so alone. Then a small, mysterious painting of a female pope carries her back 150 years to the joyous circle of a holy woman? revered in her time, mysteriously obscure in Taria's time.The duchess believes that reviving the holy woman's fame could bring badly needed prestige to the noble family. But Taria conceals a devastating revelation: the Inquisition is on the hunt for the saint and her followers.As jealousy wrecks her romance and poisons her closest friendship, Taria shuns the present and embraces the holy woman's circle as the family she has always craved.And the Inquisition closes in.Inspired by a true story, The Bones You Have Cast Down will transport you to long ago times not unlike our own, when the keepers of faith conspired against the faithful, and the rich and powerful embraced greed and corruption even while fostering works of artistic brilliance revered to this day.
