Poison : a novel of the Renaissance

"In the simmering hot summer of 1492, a monstrous evil is stirring within the Eternal City of Rome. The brutal murder of an alchemist sets off a desperate race to uncover the plot that threatens to extinguish the light of the Renaissance and plunge Europe back into medieval darkness. Determined to avenge the killing of her father, Francesca Giordano defies all convention to claim for herself the position of poisoner serving Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, head of the most notorious and dangerous family in Italy. She becomes the confidante of Lucrezia Borgia and the lover of Cesare Borgia. At the same time, she is drawn to the young renegade monk who yearns to save her life and her soul. Navigating a web of treachery and deceit, Francesca pursues her father's killer from the depths of Rome's Jewish ghetto to the heights of the Vatican itself. In so doing, she sets the stage for the ultimate confrontation with ancient forces that will seek to use her darkest desires to achieve their own catastrophic ends"--Cover, p. 4.

  • "Gier und Gewalt, Gift und Galle Im schwül-heissen Sommer 1492 braut sich hinter den Mauern der Heiligen Stadt Rom Böses zusammen. Als ihr Vater einem brutalen Mord zum Opfer fällt, verschafft sich die junge Francesca Giordano Zutritt zum Hof der Borgia, indem sie sich das Vertrauen der mächtigsten Familie Roms erschleicht. Doch ihr wahres Streben ist, den Tod ihres Vaters zu sühnen. Die Suche nach den Mördern wird zu einer atemberaubenden Jagd durch Paläste, die düsteren Gassen des jüdischen Ghettos bis hinein ins Herz des Vatikans ... Sara Poole ist das Pseudonym einer New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autorin, die sich mit ihren historischen Romanen einen neuen Markt erobert. Ihre langjährige Faszination für das Italien der Renaissance und die Borgia im Speziellen, brachte sie in diese neue Richtung. Sie hegt ausserdem ein besonderes Interesse an der Botanik und vor allem giftigen Pflanzen. Sara lebt zusammen mit ihrem Mann und einer ganzen Horde von Tieren in Connecticut. Die Tochter des Giftmischers ist Sara Pooles erster historischer Roman."
  • "Główna bohaterka to młoda kobieta, która przejmuje posadę ojca jako naczelna trucicielka służąca rodzinie Borgiów. Powieść znakomicie łączy fakty historyczne (Innocenty naprawdę pił krew w nadziei na przedłużenie życia) z intrygującą fikcją. Początek pełnej tajemnic serii historycznej o rodzinie Borgiów."
