Perpetual virginity is a practice in the Church that can never be renounced nor abandoned. It is a lifelong vow, that when broken can result in the offender being sentenced to death. Isabella de Medici took the vow mere weeks before her arranged marriage- a decision that would change her, the Medici name, and history forever.

::::Praise for "Perpetual Virginity"::::
 
"I just wanted to point out this is very well written and quite interesting. Why is it that stories like these don't get enough attention?"  -Jubilee1920

"It's really well written and I'm excited to read more!" -grangered

"[the author] did well, in my opinion, to show that Christianity in those times are not at all a religious entity but more like a political one. I myself have read many historical fiction novels that talk about the corruption of the Church. Bribery for excommunication and etc. The pope here seems okay though, so perhaps [the author is] targeting the institution itself, that the amount of power it wields has made it corrupt. " -syllabuspearl

"I have read and reread this multiple times up to [this update point]. I love it and can't wait to see where it goes." -aana_aana

"This book deserves to get published, it's rare to find gems like this on wattpad" -ThaisaKing

"I really enjoyed reading it more than I ever anticipated, all I need to say is that I will add it my library to read it later with the rest!" -anwaAlsaAll Rights Reserved
