In a quiet village outside Siena, the new year turns, and the ambitious Anna finds herself falling for her childhood friend, the idealistic Martino.
Around them, the medieval world is in turmoil. City states battle for power, the Pope seeks to regain his land, and Caterina, a young Sienese nun, is compelled to reform the corrupt church.
When English mercenary Sir John Hawkwood descends on the region, bringing fire and ruin in his wake, Anna and Martino are torn apart, their lives changed forever.
This sweeping story of saints and sinners, politics and war, loyalty and love will keep readers engrossed from start to finish.
