Her Name Was Lucrezia

The Poisoned ReputationCeri Clark

Her Name Was Lucrezia

Length40m

About this audiobook

They called her a poisoner. A seductress. A monster in a velvet dress. But Lucrezia Borgia knew the truth: the most dangerous weapon at the Renaissance court wasn’t a dagger or a cup of poison, it was a rumour. Daughter of a pope, pawn in her family's brutal games of power, Lucrezia spent her life walking a razor-thin line between obedience and survival. Behind the scandalous legends lies a woman who was blamed for the sins of her father and brother, while trying, and often failing, to find love, peace, and agency in a world designed to consume her. Her Name Was Lucrezia peels back the myths to reveal a haunting portrait of a woman trapped by a reputation she never chose, and could never outrun.

About the author

Ceri Clark

Ceri Clark

Hi, I’m Ceri Clark, a Welsh author who writes stories that twist history, spark curiosity, and entertain. My Heinous History series uncovers strange true tales, including dancing plagues, corpse trials, and Henry VIII’s royal bottom-wiper. (Yes, really.) I also write fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and horror because one genre just isn’t enough. I live in Wales with my husband, son, and Cookie the dog. I love hoodies, rock music, and getting lost in stories, whether I’m reading them or writing them.View all audiobooks by Ceri Clark
