Italy: 1478 A cruel and beautiful country that spans far beyond its grape fields-- but it would take a brave and stupid mind to venture that far. Avali Dianopol, the daughter of the Medici within Firenze, is subdued within a life of Florentine amenity: with bolts of lace there, and extravagance somewhere else. When her father his murdered for treason, it seems the Italy had shed its true colors: a dangerous game of conspiracy and prowess. Though Avali may have escaped, Death remains at her heels and its only a matter of time before it catches her.
