Benefitting from their father's elevation are the new pope's illegitimate children--his rival sons, Cesare and Juan, and beautiful young daughter Lucrezia--each of whom assumes an exalted position in the papal court. Privileged and adored, Lucrezia yearns to escape her childhood and play a part in her family's fortunes. But Rome is seductive and dangerous: alliances shift at a moment's notice as Italy's ruling dynasties strive to keep rivals at bay. As Lucrezia's father faces challenges from all sides, the threat of a French invasion forces him to marry her off to a powerful adversary. When she discovers the brutal truth behind her alliance, Lucrezia is plunged into a perilous gambit that will require all her wits, cunning, and guile. Yet as scandalous accusations of murder and incest build against her, Lucrezia must risk everything to overcome the lethal fate imposed upon her by her Borgia blood"--Back cover. 600 10 $a Borgia, Lucrezia, $d 1480-1519 $v Fiction. 600 30 $a Borgia family $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nobility $z Papal States $z Papal States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $x History $y 1420-1798 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y 1492-1559 $v Fiction. 600 36 $a Borgia (Famille) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Rome (Italie) $x Histoire $y 1420-1798 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Italie $x Histoire $y 1492-1559 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 600 37 $a Borgia family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00351466 600 17 $a Borgia, Lucrezia, $d 1480-1519. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00016486 650 7 $a Nobility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038255 651 7 $a Europe $z Papal States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205528 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 $a Italy $z Rome. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204500 648 7 $a 1420-1798 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=837093904BB111EEB0EB21354EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
