The Courtisans' Game

The ultimate in beauty, sensuality and profligacy: two women weave a web of intrigue in Renaissance Rome.

The extravagant lives of the rich and powerful come at a price: avarice, intrigue and murder are the inevitable consequences. Two women dominate the social scene in Rome: Fiametta, the mistress of Cesare Borgia, and Imperia, who counts the financier of Pope Alexander VI. amongst her suitors. They know how beguiling power can be – and make use of the secrets revealed to them in intimate moments to their advantage. A historical novel replete with colours, aromas and pleasures of the flesh, brilliantly researched to provide reading matter of the first order.
