The Vatican Princess by C.W. Gortner6/4/2023 ![]() But Rome is seductive and dangerous: Alliances shift at a moment’s notice as Italy’s ruling dynasties strive to keep rivals at bay. Privileged and adored, Lucrezia yearns to escape her childhood and play a part in her family’s fortunes. With the ascension of the Spaniard Rodrigo Borgia as Pope Alexander VI, the new pope’s illegitimate children-his rival sons, Cesare and Juan, and beautiful young daughter Lucrezia-assume an exalted position in the papal court. Slandered as a heartless seductress who lured men to their doom, was she in fact the villainess of legend, or was she trapped in a familial web, forced to choose between loyalty and survival? Lucrezia Borgia, beloved daughter of the pope, was at the center of the dynasty’s ambitions. Glamorous and predatory, the Borgias fascinated and terrorized 15th-century Renaissance Italy. ![]() ![]() Support Your Independent Bookseller at IndieBoundĪvailable in paperback on August 1, 2017! ![]()
