Historical
The most beautiful woman in Rome, Lucrezia Borgia, was
born into a family—and a destiny—she could not hope to
escape . . .
Fifteenth-century Rome: The Borgia
family is on the rise. Lucrezia’s father, Pope Alexander VI,
places his illegitimate daughter and her only brothers,
Cesare, Giovanni, and Goffredo, in the jeweled splendor—and
scandal—of his court. From the Pope’s affairs with
adolescent girls to Cesare’s dangerous jealousy of anyone
who inspires Lucrezia’s affections to the ominous birth of a
child conceived in secret, no Borgia can elude
infamy. Young Lucrezia gradually accepts her fate as she
comes to terms with the delicate nature of her relationships
with her father and brothers. The unbreakable bond she
shares with them both exhilarates and terrifies her as her
innocence begins to fade. Soon she will understand that her
family’s love pales next to their quest for power and that
she herself is the greatest tool in their political
arsenal. From the inimitable pen of Jean
Plaidy, this family’s epic legend is replete with passion,
intrigue, and murder—and it’s only the beginning.
