Genevra Sforza (ca. 1441-1507) lived her long life near the apex of Italian Renaissance society as wife of two successive de facto rulers of Bologna: Sante Bentivoglio then Giovanni II Bentivoglio. Placed there twice without a dowry by Duke Francesco Sforza as part of a larger Milanese plan, Genevra served the Bentivoglio by fulfilling the gendered role demanded of her by society, most notably by contributing eighteen children, accepting many illegitimates born to Giovanni II, and helping arrange their futures for the success of the family at large. Based on contemporary archival research conducted across Italy, this biography presents Genevra as the object of academic study for the first time. The book also explores how Genevra’s life-story, filled with a multitude of successes appropriate for an elite fifteenth-century female, has been transformed into a farraginous body of misogynistic legends claiming she destroyed the Bentivoglio and the city of Bologna.

Edie inherited two things from her dead father: a gun-toting zombie and the power to raise the dead. She's not sure which is worse.Edie Holloway's life was already getting a little weird. Attacked in the park by two ghouls? Check. Saved by a glowing, one-handed guy? Sure, why not. Hamster kicked the bucket for no reason? Possibly... except he's breathing again.But nothing prepared her for a zombie showing up in her living room.As an undead servant of her family bloodline, he has some news for her: she's a necromancer-and she needs to figure out her powers quickly, before she ends up like her father. Good news is, he knows someone who may be able to help-for a price.Turns out the creatures of Norse mythology are real, and they're headed for war. Edie's only hope lies with the remnants of an ancient faction: a headstrong valkyrie, a reluctant shieldmaiden, and a seven-foot fish man who refuses to wear pants.Two things stand in their way: A massive army commanded by a ruthless dread lord; and the glowing, one-handed guy who saved her life-and who just might want her dead.
