1527. While the Papal city of Rome burns, brutally sacked by an invading army including Protestant heretics, two of her most interesting and wily citizens slip away, their stomachs churning on the jewels they have swallowed as the enemy breaks down their doors. Though almost as damaged as their bellowed city, Fiammetta Bianchini and Bucino Teodoldi, a fabulous courtesan and her dwarf companion, are already planning their future. They head for the shimmering beauty of Venice, a honey pot of wealth and trade where they start to rebuild their business. As being a partnership these are invincible: Bucino, clever with a sharp eye and a wicked tongue and Fiammetta, beautiful and shrewd, trained from birth to charm, entertain, and fulfill men who've the money to support her. Venice, however, is a city which holds its temptations. From your admiring Turk searching for human novelties for his Sultan's court, to the searing passion of a lover who wants more than his allotted nights. However the greatest challenge comes from a blind woman, a purveyor of health insurance and beauty, who insinuates her way to their lives and hearts with devastating consequences for them all.
