Description

Against a teeming canvas of Borgia politics, Niccolò Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci get together to unmask an enigmatic serial monster, once we learn the key history behind among the most controversial works in the western cannon, The King,When Pope Alexander dispatches a Vatican courtesan, Damiata, towards the distant castle town of Imola to learn the reality behind the killing of Juan, his most precious unlawful son, she can't fail, for that scheming Borgia pope retains her very own small son hostage. When there, Damiata becomes a pawn in the political intrigues of the pope’s remaining boy, the charming Duke Valentino, whose own existence is endangered by the condottieri, a strong cabal of mercenary warlords. Damiata thinks the monster she attempts is among the raw condottierri, and her mission develops more immediate, whilst the killings grow. She enlists the aid of an unknown Florentine diplomat, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Valentino’s odd army engineer, Leonardo da Vinci, who together should find it difficult to understand the killer’s taunting riddles: Leonardo with his innovative “science of observation” and Machiavelli with his new “science of men.” Touring across a Croatia split apart by conflict, they'll enter a maze of old superstition and sensual passion to find out at its center a new encounter of evil—and a reality that will shake the foundations of american civilization.
