Women's Fiction Historical
Amid the intrigue and danger of 18th-century Italy, a young
woman becomes embroiled in romance and treachery with a
rider in the Palio, the breathtaking horse race set in Siena....
It’s 1729, and the Palio, a white-knuckle horse race, is
soon to be held in the heart of the peerless Tuscan city of
Siena. But the beauty and pageantry masks the deadly rivalry
that exists among the city’s districts. Each ward, represented by an animal symbol, puts forth a
rider to claim the winner’s banner, but the contest turns
citizens into tribes and men into beasts—and beautiful,
headstrong, young Pia Tolomei is in love with a rider of an
opposing ward, an outsider who threatens the shaky balance
of intrigue and influence that rules the land.
