Book excerpt: "A delightful blend of history, romance, and the supernatural, served with a generous helping of wit and humor."—Booklist Nostradamus, a ruthless queen, and a young poet find themselves in the fight of their lives... Lady Sibille never goes looking for trouble, but trouble always seems to find her. When she inadvertently becomes the master of an ancient cursed head of Menander the Magus—the Master of All Desires—she suddenly has the power to grant any wish, at a steep price. Queen Catherine de Medici is trying to obtain the power of the Master in order to get rid of her husband's mistress.

But only Nostradamus knows that evil befalls all who wish upon this accursed object. Can he stop these determined women before they unwittingly destroy the entire kingdom of France?
