Violante isnβt supposed to be here, in one of the grandest courts of Renaissance Italy. She isnβt supposed to be a lady-in-waiting to the beautiful Lucrezia Borgia. But the same secretive politics that pushed Lucreziaβs father to the Vatican have landed Violante deep in a lavish landscape of passion and ambition.
Violante discovers a Lucrezia unknown to those who see only a scheming harlot, and all the whispers about her brother, Cesare Borgia, never revealed the soul of the man who dances close with Violante.
But those who enter the House of Borgia are never quite the same when they leaveβif they leave at all. Violanteβs place in history will test her heart and leave her the guardian of dangerous secrets she must carry to the grave.
