Graceless Heart

In 1478, Volterra is under siege by the Florentine army acting for the Medici, and the Pope is waging a brutal campaign against magic. Ravenna Maffei, a sculptor with a dormant and dangerous affinity for forbidden magic, enters a sculpting competition hosted by the immortal Luni family, hoping to win the freedom of her imprisoned brother.

Instead she is forced to use her power to retrieve five magical Nightflame stones, which can bring non-living things to life, and to work alongside Saturnino dei Luni, the enigmatic heir of the family. A historical romantic fantasy set in Renaissance Italy, and Isabel Ibañez's adult debut.
