A city betrayed. An oath broken. A chronicle against oblivion.
In February 1377, Cesena remained loyal to the Church. For that loyalty, it was condemned to slaughter.
As papal mercenary bands occupied the city, Matteo d'Acquarola—a young butcher and apprentice notary—still believed that a line of ink could protect men from violence. But when Cardinal Robert of Geneva swore upon the Cross to show mercy, only to order the massacre of a defenceless population, Matteo discovered that the law could be betrayed, the gates could be sealed, and memory could be burned.
He had only one weapon left: to write.
The Register of Stone recounts the massacre of Cesena in 1377 through the eyes of those who survived, those who obeyed, those who betrayed, and those who chose to remember.
A dark, elegant, and compelling historical novel in which history becomes flesh, blood, and voice.
