- Summary
- "A novel set in Renaissance Italy, and centering on the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de' Medici"--
- Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is obscure in the palazzo's clandestine workings. Then her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the Alfonso, ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio. Now Lucrezia is to take her sister's place in a troubled court where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Sitting for her wedding portrait, one thing becomes clear to Lucrezia: her only duty is to provide an heir to shore up the future of the Ferrarese dynasty. -- adapted from jacket
