Post Tenebras. Death to the Witch

Monstrous creatures are surfacing in our waters, a mysterious plague is spreading among the people, and science has no answers. In response, the WITCH HUNT is officially open.

You’re seventeen, passionate about chemistry, and have mismatched eyes. What’s the worst that could happen? That in the midst of the Belle Époque’s great scientific progress, society turns backward, reviving the witch hunts and pushing women out of intellectual life. No—worse than that, your sister is arrested by the Inquisition, and no lawyer dares defend her. Actually, even worse—despite being locked away, she keeps appearing to you as if she were really there.

Mimì has the odds stacked against her, but with the help of John, an English lawyer with a love for science, she refuses to back down. Together, they investigate the strange illness spreading around Lake Geneva and the dragons rising from its depths. As they search for the truth—while trying not to be too distracted by their growing feelings for each other—they uncover the real culprit: pollution, poisoning the people and awakening ancient creatures from the abyss.

Because there’s a scientific explanation for everything. Or almost.
