Nevjesta obitelji Borgia

Nevjesta obitelji Borgia

Jeanne Kalogridis

Italy, 1492. Her name is Sancha of Aragon. The beautiful illegitimate daughter of Alfonso II. Napuljski only feels contempt for his father's callousness.

When the prophetess tells her that if she wants to save what is dearest to her, she will have to become like him one day, Sancha refuses to believe it. But fate likes to play with our hopes.

When they marry her to the youngest son of Pope Antichrist, Alexander VI. Borgia, Sancha will find himself in a snake's den where any careless move can be fatal.

The eternal city and its moral corruption, magnificent halls where betrayals and alliances are planned - before all this, Sancha tries to escape by seeking solace in friendship with his glamorous and deceitful sister-in-law Lucrezia, and then in a dangerous love affair with her handsome, ambitious brother Cesare. He will soon learn that nothing is as it seems at the Borgia court, and Strega's prophecy will be fulfilled: in the midst of the deadly network of the Borgia family, Sancho of Aragon will have to muster all his courage and cunning to defeat them at the game they are most skilled at.
