Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of The Lost Diary of Lucrezia Borgia by Johnny Teague. This compelling novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.
In The Lost Diary of Lucrezia Borgia, a forgotten confessional surfaces from beneath a Roman basilica and refuses to stay buried. This is a story for lovers of secret histories, dark academia and morally complex heroines.
At its heart are two souls divided by five centuries yet bound by the same questions. What if the woman history branded a poisoner and seductress had written her own defense? What if her words could upend everything we think we know about power, faith and female ambition?
Moving between glittering Renaissance courts and the shadows of modern Rome, the novel explores the allure and danger of sacred objects, the seduction of corruption and the cost of choosing conscience over survival. For readers of dual timeline epics, ecclesiastical thrillers and feminist retellings, The Lost Diary of Lucrezia Borgia invites you into a world where every relic hides a story and every story threatens the official truth.
