Murderer or saviour? You decide. . .
Rome, 1656
In the shadowy backstreets of the Eternal City lies an apothecary’s shop – a place for women to take their heartbreaks and troubles. Herbs for childbirth. Tarot readings to tell their fortunes. An undetectable poison that can kill in four drops.
Alongside her circle of female poisoners, Giulia Tofana dispenses her deadly potion to free the downtrodden women of the city from their abusive husbands.
A path she’s determined to follow after a harrowing childhood in Palermo.
But even in a time of plague, it does not go unnoticed when the men of Rome begin to fall like flies.
With a newly elected Pope hell-bent on ridding the city of heretics and witches, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition on her tail, Giulia is in more danger than ever. . .
How far will she go for the women who need her help?
Exploring the realities of what it is like to be a woman who rebels against society, A Poisoner’s Tale takes the reader on a tense, challenging but spellbinding journey. This is not just a retelling of the legend of Giulia Tofana but an ode to sisterhood and motherhood, to defiance and secret rebellion.

Dark and Gripping Female Rage
Gulia, daughter of a nutorious poisoner, tries to help women trappen in loveless marriages. During the plague her enterprise runs smoothly and no one notices the deaths of the men poisoned by their wives. But when the plague ends and men keep dying all throughout Rome the Pope gets suspicious and begins a witch-hunt. Is Gulia really the cold killer the church believes her to be or could she even be considered a saint, helping women escape their abusing husbands? (Please make sure to read the trigger warning)
