Lucrezia Borgia grows up in Renaissance Rome as the beloved daughter of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia. When he becomes Pope Alexander VI, her marriages are used to secure alliances and her brother Cesare’s ambitions become increasingly dangerous. Lucrezia must negotiate papal politics, family loyalty, public scandal and the violence surrounding the Borgia court while trying to protect those she loves. The novel follows her youth and early marriages rather than accepting later legends of poison and calculated seduction. It presents Lucrezia as a politically valuable daughter whose survival depends on understanding how affection, faith and power operate inside her family.
