Italy, 1498.
The wealthy duchy of the city-state of Valdara has prospered for decades under the influence of the formidable House Vesperi — bankers, patrons of the arts, political manipulators, and quiet allies of Rome.
But the age that enriched them is changing.
France eyes Italy greedily.
The Vatican shifts alliances constantly.
Mercenary captains grow restless.
Religious reformers preach against corruption in the streets.
And now Lord Alessandro Vesperi is dead.
The mourning rites begin inside the vast Palazzo Vesperi, where family members, rivals, clergy, allies, artists, and servants gather beneath one roof while the patriarch’s final testament is prepared for public reading.
But Alessandro left behind something far more dangerous than a disputed inheritance.
He left secrets.
Mysteries.
Riddles.
One last will redacted hours before his death containing an obscure prophecy.
And no designated heir in the direst hour of the duchy of Valdara.
A deadly succession drama where everyone carries secrets — and the dead patriarch may still control the game.
Will you save the duchy from enemies and conspirators?
Will you solve the riddles of the prophecy?
Or will you secure yourself power while the palace burns?
