When Lucia discovers a dog-eared book by Martin Luther in her father's desk drawer, the precocious twelve-year-old at once remembers her priest's diatribe against Luther. Curiosity drives her to examine the arch-heretic's ideas for herself.
Lucia's father, Giordano, knows that in late Renaissance Italy, only a suicidal zealot would so much as whisper Luther's name--even in Verona, several days ride from Rome and the fury of the Church's Inquisition. Knowing his daughter's impulsive streak, Giordano warns Lucia of dire consequences if the Inquisition learns of her find.
As Giordano fears, Martin Luther's ideas ignite Lucia's faith. Faced with plague, death, and the Inquisition, at every step Lucia must choose between abandoning her faith and risking her life.
