About this book
The introduction to The Sorceress of Rome discusses the tenth century and describes monkish chronicles as shedding faint light on the discordant Italian world. Eckhardt begins his descent towards the city while the marble city on the Palatine reflects a glow almost too bright for his gaze. A procession winds around the Tiber, with masked figures in black hoods carrying wooden crucifixes and resin torches.
Otto trembles while gazing at the face of the wife of the Senator of Rome and takes the hand she offers. The woman's words fill Otto with emotion, while his reply is intelligible only to her. A horseman passes the cavalcade at night, closely muffled and disappearing before anyone can hail or recognize him.
