This gripping historical novel is set in 15th-century Italy, during the Renaissance, when the fate of the fragmented peninsula was determined not only by swords and gold, but also by cunning intrigues. The reader is presented with a gallery of seven powerful dynasties, each thirsting for power.
The plot centers on the destinies of the rulers of Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples. The Duke of Milan, Filippo Maria Visconti, deprived of male heirs, desperately seeks to retain power by relying on his illegitimate daughter and weaving wild plots against both real and imagined enemies. Meanwhile, the Venetian Condulmer family, through complex intrigues, places their protégé, Eugene IV, on the papal throne, incurring the vengeance of the Colonna clan. In southern Italy, a bloody struggle erupts between the Angevins and the Aragonese, plunging the country further into chaos.
The author masterfully weaves together the destinies of real historical figures—such as the condottiere Francesco Sforza and the ruler of Florence, Cosimo de' Medici—creating a canvas that critics have compared to Maurice Druon's The Accursed Kings and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. This is a saga of real people with their passions, ambitions, and vices, whose decisions changed history. Which of the seven rulers will emerge victorious from this struggle, where the future of all Italy is at stake?
