From the national bestselling author of The Serpent
and the Pearl comes the continuing saga of the ruthless
family that holds all of Rome in its grasp, and the three
outsiders thrust into their twisted web of blood and deceit
. . .
As the cherished concubine of the Borgia Pope Alexander
VI, Giulia Farnese has Rome at her feet. But after narrowly
escaping a sinister captor, she realizes that the danger she
faces is far from over and now, it threatens from within.
The Holy City of Rome is still under Alexander's thrall, but
enemies of the Borgias are starting to circle. In need of
trusted allies, Giulia turns to her sharp-tongued bodyguard,
Leonello, and her fiery cook and confidante, Carmelina.
Caught in the deadly world of the Renaissance's most
notorious family, Giulia, Leonello, and Carmelina must
decide if they will flee the dangerous dream of power. But
as the shadows of murder and corruption rise through the
Vatican, they must learn who to trust when every face wears
a mask . . .
