Description

Forbidden from creating her herbal cures in Venice, young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as it turns out, a path to the duke regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de'Medici and Bianca is at the core of this history-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and death in Renaissance Florence. Malaria killed many of the Medicis, but traces of the poison arsenic have recently been found in Francesco's remains. Even more sinister: Bianca's remains have not been found. Bianca's Cure probes what might have been as Bianca's quest for a malaria cure collides with Francesco's intensifying illness. Her main tool is the herb artemisia - medicine still used today. A woman who dares to practice science, Bianca fights off self-doubt until she believes herself invincible. Is she? When only she stands between Francesco and death, her skill may save him or doom them both.
