In the Shadow of Light is a unique take on historical events in a fascinating, in-depth, magical world filled with a range of characters who are both exciting and believable. The setting descriptions are wonderful and make you feel as if you're actually immersed in seventeenth-century Florence.

- "[...] In The Shadow of Light is one of those stories that draws you in bit by bit, so much so that you don’t even notice it’s happening. And then, all of a sudden, you’re turning the page faster and faster to see what happens next. It has a bit of everything from historical accuracy to church politics to magic." - Reader Review

A riveting magical tale of a gifted young woman during the plague in 17th century Italy. A pestilence of sinister origin ravages Tuscany. The bustling city of Florence is crippled and Vittoria Giordano—a wool merchant’s daughter—is forced to flee, seeking safety in the countryside. What she discovers instead is a world teeming with danger, deception, and witches.

Devastating heartbreak leads Vittoria to accept sanctuary amongst a clan of Benedanti Strega. Their mystical influence is a catalyst for exposing the lie upon which her family legacy is built. When Vittoria inadvertently draws the attention of vengeful Malandanti, the long shadow of the witch-hunting Inquisition creeps ever closer.

As retribution for an unforgivable act against them, the Malandanti intend to cast Florence into darkness and chaos forever. The only one who has the power to stop them is Vittoria—she just doesn't know it yet.
