About this listen
From the national best-selling author of The Serpent and the Pearl comes the continuing saga of the ruthless family that holds all of Rome in its grasp, and the three outsiders thrust into their twisted web of blood and deceit.…
As the cherished concubine of the Borgia Pope Alexander VI, Giulia Farnese has Rome at her feet. But after narrowly escaping a sinister captor, she realizes that the danger she faces is far from over - and now, it threatens from within. The Holy City of Rome is still under Alexander's thrall, but enemies of the Borgias are starting to circle. In need of trusted allies, Giulia turns to her sharp-tongued bodyguard, Leonello, and her fiery cook and confidante, Carmelina.
Caught in the deadly world of the Renaissance's most notorious family, Giulia, Leonello, and Carmelina must decide if they will flee the dangerous dream of power. But as the shadows of murder and corruption rise through the Vatican, they must learn who to trust when every face wears a mask….

Just brilliant.
Loved the long hours I’ve enjoyed on both these books. The performance by the four readers is exceptional and adds such fabulous layering to the story. Highly, highly recommend this enjoyable story.

Amazing, can’t stop thinking about it
I have been looking for a quality and exciting book for quite a while . It was almost time to give up before I discovered this amazing gem.
Kate is clearly a very intelligent and lucky woman who experienced true love and passion which combined with her exceptional ability to perceive the essence of things, create drama beautiful writing style and accurate depiction of historical facts makes this a must read.... there is so much more to say !
The story is fantastic. There are scenes so vivid and well written, it would be impossible to ever forget them.
Anyone giving this book lower than 5 star reviews are yet to experience what love is and how many forms it has.
