Summary
In return for acquiring ? stealing if he must ? great works of art for French King Fran©ʹois I, the king's royal art dealer, Battista della Palla, enjoys the king's support, and the city of Florence enjoys his protection. When the king goes to war with Charles of Spain, he orders Battista to retrieve an ancient Greek relic that is said to 'possess the strength to reign victorious.' As Battista begins the hunt, he meets Aurelia, a beautiful, spirited noblewoman with a yen for travel and adventure, and his simple quest blooms into a mysterious journey across Italy, with Battista and Aurelia following in the footsteps of the relic's Guardians and encountering challenges evocative of Dante's Divine Comedy. Inevitably, the two fall in love, but a secret about Aurelia's true identity threatens the mission
