The Maiden

Edinburgh. 1679. Lady Christian Nimmo, a member of the highest circles of Scottish society, and Violet, a young prostitute, are both accused of the cold-blooded murder of Lord James Forrester, a wealthy and influential man.

Why is Forrester the one who unites them? Why are such different women in prison awaiting the most cruel punishment? After all, what fate awaits a woman who dares to raise her hand against someone who deserves to be killed? The story begins with a scene at the guillotine. But where and how will it end?

"The Maiden" is a bold story about truth, power and the fearlessly confident voice of a woman in a world where every reckless word threatens not only reputation, but also life.
