Description
The Angel's Shadow by Stephen Desberg is a gripping tale of intrigue and deception. In 16th-century Rome, a shadow from the past threatens to upend the fragile balance of power. As the Pope seeks financial assistance from European monarchs, a complex web of alliances and rivalries ensnares the city. Trebaldi's iron fist still holds sway over the city, but his grip is tenuous at best. The Scorpion, a powerful symbol of authority, becomes a coveted prize in a game of cat and mouse between powerful factions. Thieves, conspirators, and monarchs all seek to exploit the situation for their own gain. As allegiances shift and loyalties are tested, one thing becomes clear: only those who can navigate the treacherous landscape of 16th-century Rome will emerge victorious.
