Although she had resented the limitations femininity imposed upon her in an age so adventurous for men, who were free to explore new ideas and new lands, her uncomplicated future had stretched before her life a shaft of sunlight: she was to marry the handsome Daniello della Sera and live happily ever after.But the destiny of Francesca becomes inextricably entwined with that of Florence. When the Pazzi attempt to take the Medici's life, the City of the Red Lily is plunged into an abyss of destruction. Who is responsible, the citizens demand, for such a conspiracy?
