As the teenage daughter of Pope
Alexander VI, Lucrezia Borgia is a young noblewoman immersed in all the glamor
of the Vatican Palace.
Yet after a brutal killing shocks the city, Lucrezia
learns that a dark truth lies beneath the surface of the Papal Court: in their
ruthless quest for power, her father and brother are willing to poison their
enemies.
Her family are murderers.
After discovering that her new husband is next to die,
Lucrezia struggles to help him escape from Rome before the assassins
strike.
Against a barrage of political intrigues, papal spies, and diabolical
tricks, Lucrezia uses all her wits to defy her family and save her husband from
assassination.
But as tragedy looms ever closer, and her plans gradually fail,
she finds herself confronting an enemy far more sinister than she ever
imagined…
