"Scorpica by G.R. Macallister kept me up way past my bedtime for several days—I just couldn't put it down! The vivid world-building and complex, fierce women at the heart of this epic fantasy pulled me into a gripping tale where every page was filled "

“We had heard of this modern wonder in Genoa, of course, but seeing it in person was an entirely different matter. The dome was egg-shaped, and had been finished with reddish tiles beneath the great white ribs of its supports. A cross sat at the very top, blessing those who beheld it from below as well as pointing upward into the heavens. As I gazed upon it, I marveled that so great a structure could stay upright without collapsing in on itself. It seemed a frightening thing, that lowly mankind had dared to build something that ascended so close to God.”
― The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence: A Story of Botticelli
― The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence: A Story of Botticelli
“The city of Florence lay sprawled out below us, a mass of both brownstone and red-tiled roofs nestled among the brilliant, vibrantly green, rolling Tuscan hills. Above it all rose the massive dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, Brunelleschi’s wonder, famous the world over. The cathedral rose above the city like a great sleeping dragon, watching over its domain even in its slumber.”
