Under the Witches' Moon: A Romantic Tale of Mediaeval Rome

The story opens on the night of St. John’s Eve, 935 AD, when a blood‑red moon climbs above the Alban hills and casts an eerie glow over Rome’s bustling Piazza Navona. Amid lanterns, incense, and a kaleidoscope of travelers—from Sicilian merchants to distant monks—a young woman named Theodora moves through the crowd, her thoughts tangled with the whispers of sorcerers and the promise of something extraordinary.

When a mysterious stranger appears, his gaze fixed on her, the festival’s revelry gives way to a subtle, magnetic tension. Their meeting awakens ancient rumors of witchcraft and hidden powers that pulse through the city’s stone veins. As Theodora is drawn into secret rites, political intrigue, and the forbidden allure of love, she must decide whether to surrender to the enchantment that beckons or to protect the fragile world she knows. The tale weaves romance and medieval mysticism, inviting listeners to wander Rome’s moonlit streets where danger and desire walk hand in hand.
