On the Crimson Field

Italy of the Renaissance is torn apart by strife, and at its heart is the Borgia family. Pope Alexander VI has cast his nets wide, but is it enough to hold onto power and protect his children from the evil... fate that seems to stalk them? For now, Juan indulges in passions, Cesare seeks to conquer an empire by force, Joffre seeks only peace, and Lucrezia obeys her father's commands, but only until a certain point. Diseases and curses come from the south, an army of the French king marches from the north, sorcery and impending grief blow in from the east, rumors spread from the west, more treacherous than any weapon, but the most terrifying thing is what is happening within the family. After all, being a Borgia is a curse in itself.
