Rome, 1492: The Holy City is drenched with bloodstream and teeming with secrets. A pope is dying and the throne of God is left vacant, a reward awarded and then the most virtuous - or the most ruthless. The Borgia family starts its legendary rise, chronicled by an innocent woman who finds herself drawn to their dangerous web.... Vivacious Giulia Farnese has floor-length gold hair and the globe at her toes: beauty, wealth, and a good looking young husband. But she actually is stunned to learn that her glittering matrimony is a sham, and she actually is to get as a concubine to the ruthless, charismatic Cardinal Borgia: Spaniard, sensualist, prospect for Pope - and passionately in love with her. Two trusted companions will observe her into the Pope's shadowy harem: Leonello, a cynical bodyguard bent on bloody revenge against a strange killer, and Carmelina, a fiery make meals with a past full of secrets. But as problem thickens in the Vatican and the opponents begin to circle, Giulia and her friends will require almost all their wits to endure in the world of the Borgias.
