Giulia Farnese remains the favoured companion of Pope Alexander VI, but the security offered by the Borgia court begins to narrow as enemies gather inside and outside Rome. Her recent captivity has shown that rank cannot protect her from people seeking leverage over the pope.
Carmelina and Leonello continue to guard Giulia while pursuing threats tied to their own pasts. The French invasion of Italy and the ambitions of the Borgia children force all three to decide whether survival lies in escape or in remaining close to power.
