Set amid the glittering courts and restless battlefields of early‑sixteenth‑century Italy, this sweeping romance follows a daring young noble caught in a sudden clash of honor and intrigue. When a sharp‑tongued insult erupts at a lavish banquet, the protagonist finds himself thrust into a web of rival families, secret wagers, and an unexpected invitation to a hawking party that promises both danger and delight.
Against the backdrop of towering citadels, bustling markets, and the shadow of the Vatican, love and loyalty are tested at every turn. Passionate alliances form and crumble as the hero navigates swords, schemes, and the enigmatic Madame D’Entrangues, whose charms stir both admiration and suspicion. Listeners will be drawn into a world where bravery is measured by the flick of a lance and the steadfastness of the heart.
