At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Italy had not yet been unified. Popes, kings, and ancient families competed for cities, roads, and loyalties. Marriages, vows, and names were often written into the documents of families and the Holy See before anyone thought.
Nineteen-year-old Lucia Cambot fell into the hands of the Holy See forces on one of Saint Lucia's most turbulent nights. She left the Apennines and was taken to Rome with only her young brother, unresolved old grudges, and a family name that the eldest daughter of a nobleman must protect.
The person who looks after her is Vincenzo, the son of the Pope. He traveled between the papal palace, the French embassy and the battlefields of Romagna, with armies, engagements and an unfinished principality behind him. The Romans talked of his victories and of the gates that fell silent as he passed by.
They looked at each other through orders and warnings, but gradually came closer amid the winter rain, the ringing of bells, and the candlelight of the banquet. She saw the man outside of his fame who was trying to regain his name from his father's shadow; he finally understood that she was protecting not only a fiefdom, but also judgment and sincerity that no power could hand over for her.

——"I do the same to you."
