The year’s first adventure, coming up in June, will take us to Northern Italy, at the end of the XVI century.

In a small town near Genoa, in the Ligurian interior, the podestà tries to bring the popular dissatisfaction for a prolonged famine to a halt by laying the blame on the “wicked women” who practice sorcery, and begins to imprison healers and harlots. This way he kick-starts a warped machine: while been tortured, the unlucky women accuse other women, exposing even the wives and daughters of the town’s notables as witches. In this scenery, Lilith will have to hunt the bearer of the Triacanth, without knowing the first thing about his identity— and, in order to do that, she will have to pass through the snares of the Inquisition.
In November, we’ll see how the Mesoamerican civilization of the beginning of the XVI century – just before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores – had been radically changed by the dystopia caused by Lilith 500 years before.
The premature contact between the Toltecs and the Norman settlers from Vinland, in the XII century, took to Mexico horses, metallurgy, navigation techniques and resistance to the European pathogens. What Hernan Cortes will have to face, after landing on the Continent, will not be an army of foot soldiers, only equipped with wooden swords and obsidian blades. Lilith will have to use to her advantage the Aztec intricate system of religious beliefs, to track the Triacanth that’s hiding among the Spanish adventurers.
