Mary heals the sick with herbs from the forest. This is her only power, and Brother Matthew knows it. That’s why he tries to save her from the accusation of witchcraft, aware that he is exposing himself to the risk of punishment and condemnation to exile. Forced to abandon his quiet English monastery, the brother embarks on the journey that will lead him to the place where he will have to serve his sentence. But fate has something different in store. Guided by a vision, Brother Matthew reaches Felik, a tiny village lost in the Alps. Here, a terrible divine punishment is about to fall on the inhabitants, who seem to have withered their hearts. And one day, suddenly, a thick red snow begins to fall on Felik. A great medieval fresco that intertwines love, adventure and mystery, against the backdrop of landscapes of rare beauty. A classic of the Italian historical novel, the first book in the Brother Matthew saga.
