Borgias, Book 1

In the year 1492, Rome, the Holy City, was drenched in blood and teeming with secrets. A pope lay dying, and the throne of God lay vacant, a prize to be awarded only to the most virtuous - or the most ruthless. It was in this tumultuous time that the Borgia family began its legendary rise, chronicled by an innocent girl who found herself drawn into their dangerous web.

Vivacious Giulia Farnese, with her floor-length golden hair and the world at her feet, possessed beauty, wealth, and a handsome young husband. Yet, she was stunned to discover that her glittering marriage was a sham, and she was to be given as a concubine to the ruthless, charismatic Cardinal Borgia: a Spaniard, a sensualist, a candidate for the Papal throne, and a man passionately in love with her.

Two trusted companions would follow Giulia into the Pope's shadowy harem: Leonello, a cynical bodyguard bent on bloody revenge against a mysterious killer, and Carmelina, a fiery cook with a past full of secrets. As corruption thickened in the Vatican and enemies began to circle, Giulia and her friends would need to use all their wits to survive in the world of the Borgias.
