The Book of Eve - FLAWED

A book whispers. A woman hears its power. A man will stop at nothing to silence them both.

'It is wonderful - beautiful. It is dangerous - sinful. It is the best thing that could have come to me. It is the worst. '

Beatrice is the convent's librarian. For years, she has shunned the company of her sisters, finding solace only with her manuscripts. But she longs for knowledge of the outside world - a world ruled by men in which women can play no part.

One carnival night, it seems her prayers are answered: two women, badly injured and desperate for help, are abandoned at the convent's gate. Moments from death, one of them presses something into Beatrice's hands: a bewitching book whose pages have a dangerous life of their own.

But the men of the city, bent on the book's destruction, are closing in. Beatrice must do all she can to protect it - no matter what the cost.

The Binding meets The Handmaid's Tale. Perfect for fans of dark academia and historical feminist fiction.
