Coming of Age in an Age of Corruption"Nobody's happy and nobody tells the truth. That's the truth. You happy now?"In 1478, during Easter Mass in the cathedral of Florence, assassins cut down Giuliano de' Medici, while in the servants' quarters of Palazzo Pazzi a kitchen maid gives birth to the natural child of the chief conspirator. Lorenzo de' Medici vows that the newborn must die to avenge his father's crime. The infant, secreted out of Florence, grows to young manhood as a gravedigger on a remote island, unaware of his birth in a palazzo or that the Pazzi clan, on their way to claim their long-lost heir, must outrace the Medici-hired killer bent on seeing the boy does not survive his eighteenth year.The Pazzi boy and beautiful but distant Florentia, meanwhile, struggle to liberate themselves from the de facto lord of the island, a defrocked priest who controls their destinies. Hope of escaping to the New World comes with the discovery of an ancient, underground temple to Venus who, from a marvelous fresco, promises her aid - if their love proves true.
