The book transported me instantly into the heart of Italy—its rich descriptions of the Vatican City, the papal gardens, and the surrounding landscapes were so vivid and immersive that I felt as if I were walking the cobbled streets myself, breathing in the scent of blooming gardens and hearing the distant toll of church bells. The author's attention to cultural and architectural detail made the setting come alive, surrounding me with the atmosphere of centuries-old tradition and beauty.
This is a story woven with history, religion, and long-buried secrets. What happens when you come face-to-face with an institution that claims infallibility—backed by powerful figures willing to bend every truth to preserve their façade and control? That’s exactly what Sophia encountered when her affair with Joseph Morris, soon to be named the next pontiff, resulted in an unexpected pregnancy. But in a world where appearances are everything, and the Vatican's image must remain unblemished, there’s no room for scandal—only agendas, silence, and sacrifice.
This story unfolds in layers, with key players harboring hidden agendas at every turn. As Sophia races to uncover the truth—and the whereabouts of her daughter, Neveah—she must first determine who she can trust. Friend and foe blur as those sworn to protect Neveah begin to realize she is far more than an ordinary child. Within her lies a powerful spirit, a force that could change everything—if properly guided. Rich in language, fast-paced, and full of unexpected twists, this book immerses you in its world and ends on a gripping cliffhanger that leaves as many questions as answers.
