Cinzia works as a printer’s apprentice. Her mentor, Mestra Aronne prints a newspaper, where she tries to show there is corruption at the top of the government, and she has proof. The problem is, when the government soldier’s raid the shop, and haul her away, Cinzia has to find those people who gave the proof of corruption. But now, no one will talk.
Cinzia needs to tell the people in the palace that they have made a mistake that her employer would never print something that isn’t true. While trying to figure out how to get int, she means Elena, who is the daughter of the nobility, and when she hears what is going on, she agrees to help get to the bottom of it all.

Good story. Great illustrations, as a good graphic novel should have. Good adventure. The power of friendship, as always, and determination to make things right.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book will be out on the 21st of November 2023.
