In 17th century France, where women have virtually no rights or legal protection, the all-powerful Church is determined to root out heresy and witchcraft wherever it may be found. Life is especially dangerous for one young girl who, unwilling to take vows of chastity and obedience, is preparing to leave the Convent of Montmartre.
Alone at 15 years old, beautiful and naive Elisabeth Osborne believes she can manage on her own in Paris. However, a chance meeting with the madam of a gentlemen's club changes her fate. She is provided with protection, an education not available in convents, and the freedom to practice her skill with herbal remedies without fear.
Elisabeth's knowledge of plants and the human body sets her apart, but it is her extraordinary abilities in times of stress that pose an even greater danger. She struggles to keep these powers a secret, along with a recurring vision of a mysterious house that calls to her in moments of need.
As she is swept into high society, Elisabeth quickly learns that independence for women is a difficult feat in a patriarchal society where the law is not on their side. Despite her looks, education, and aristocratic air, she faces challenges that test her cleverness and resourcefulness.
With unanswered questions about her heritage and her mysterious abilities, Elisabeth embarks on a journey to Brittany and England in search of the truth. However, she may not be prepared for the revelations that await her.
For fans of Kate Morton, Rachel Hore, and Katherine Webb, this captivating tale of mystery and intrigue is a perfect book club read.
