Up To The Throne

I really enjoyed this one! Set during a (not THE) renaissance in a world with some strong similarities to our world (albeit one with magic, flying machines and other races) the plot concerns the protagonist returning to a city to get revenge on the men who slashed her face open and left her for dead. Giulia, our fierce, spiky and single-minded ‘hero' sets out to on a path of vengeance but finds herself being pulled into the Machiavellian machinations of those who would rule the city.
