The Typo: In the Name of God (The Florentine Shadows Book 1)

You’re a manuscript illustrator in Florence, a publishing Mecca, in the 15th century. Then comes the printing press. Your career is about to end. Your client, the local monastery, invites you to a viewing of a newly pressed Gutenberg Bible. And what do you discover? The world’s first typo. The Abbott tasks you with taking the book back to Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, to be corrected. But not everyone in the church wants the book corrected; they want only the church to be trusted with the Scriptures. So plans are made to thwart your journey. The monastery’s head guard, Gabriele, is assigned to protect you on your journey.

In Florence, you have had romantic attractions to a baker’s daughter, as have almost every man in Florence. But during your journey, you find yourself falling in love with a your guardian. But this is the Age of the Inquisition.

It is uncanny how this story reflects the world we live in today.
