Summary

Verona has won its war with Padua, but lost its war with the stars. Heartbroken, the young prodigy Cesco turns his troubled brilliance to darker purposes, embracing a riotous lifestyle in order to challenge the lord of Verona, the Church, and the stars themselves. Trying desperately to salvage what's left of Cesco's spirit, Pietro Alaghieri hopes the plots and intrigues of the Veronese court will shake the young man out of his downward spiral. But when the first body falls, it becomes clear that this new game is deadly, one that will doom them all. Born from Shakespeare's Italian plays, The Prince's Doom explores the danger, deceit, and deviltry of early Renaissance Italy. Filled with swashbuckling adventure, unrequited love, and brutal treachery, this epic journey recalls the best of Bernard Cornwell, Sharon Kay Penman, and Dorothy Dunnett
