HIGHLIGHTS: TURNING THE WORLD TO STONE

Turning the World to Stone

The Life of Caterina Sforza Part One 1472 to 1488

by Kelly Evans

Blurb:

Vilified by history, Caterina Sforza learned early that her life was not her own. Married at age ten, she was a pawn in the ever-changing political environment of Renaissance Italy.

Resigned to her life as a fifteenth-century wife, Caterina adapted to the role she was expected to play: raising and educating her children, helping the poor in her new home, and turning a blind eye to her husband’s increasingly shameful behaviour. But Fate had other plans for her, and soon Caterina’s path would be plagued by murder, betrayal, and heartbreak.

“Could I write all, the world would turn to stone.”

EXCERPT: TURNING THE WORLD TO STONE

“There is something I must do.” She turned to Luisa. “I need you to stay here and remain with the children.” To Bossi, she said, “And you’ll need to remain here too.”

“I don’t care where you’re going, Madonna, but I am going with you. Nowhere is safe right now.”

“I need you here.”

“I’ll see that my best men are left here, if that will ease your mind.” He waited, watching her face.

“Fine. But I am resolute and will brook no argument nor hear words that will sway me from my path.” Bossi nodded his agreement. “This is the only way to ensure my husband will live through these next days and assure I still have some control.” They looked at her expectantly as she turned to a mirror to put on a pair of riding gloves. Turning back to them, she smiled grimly.

“I am going to capture the Castel Sant’Angelo.”

“You’re going to storm the stronghold?” Bossi asked incredulously.

Caterina smiled. “No. I’m going to walk in and ask for it.”
