The Serpent Papers

Jessica Cornwell

I am Anna Verco.
I am no ordinary researcher.

My task is to hunt a medieval manuscript, a book of alchemy and witchcraft.
It was lost for centuries, hidden - or stolen. But I have found a clue.
In Barcelona, just ten years ago, a trail of women were muted and mutilated to keep it secret.
They have been silenced. But in a way, I hear them.
Their message is meant for me.
