Item description from seller

First large print edition, first impression. In almost 'as new' condition, some minuscule rubbing to bottom corners, no inscriptions, no price (n o published price), internally clean tight and square, looks unopened, unread. 1004pp. Italy, 1326. While the brilliant, wily young Cesco is schooled in his new duties at the hand of a hard master Pietro Alaghieri travels to Avignon, current seat of the Papacy, to fight his excommunication and plead for Cesco's legitimacy. He's unaware that an old foe has been waiting for this chance to ruin Pietro's life and seize control of Verona for himself. Separated from everyone he trusts, Cesco confronts his ambitious cousin, a mysterious murderer, and the Holy Roman Emperor himself. A harrowing series of adventures reveal a secret long hidden, one that threatens Cesco's only chance for true happiness. Inspired by Shakespeare, Dante, and Petrarch, this Renaissance novel of intrigue and passion reflects the heights of drama, exploring the capricious whims of lady Fortune, who has her favorites - and her fools. Replete with swashbuckling adventure, unrequited love, and brutal treachery, this epic journey recalls the best of Bernard Cornwell, Sharon Kay Penman, and Dorothy Dunnett. By American author and Renaissance academic David Blixt. A beautiful book, especially visually.
