Neprijatelji pape Aleksandra VI sve se više približavaju Rimu pa je papinski dvor primoran nakratko otići iz Rima, a papina trovačica Francesca Giordano kreće sa cijelom svitom u gradić Viterbo. No, čini se da ih cijelim putem prate urote i opasnosti, pa se Francesca udružuje sa svojim ljubavnikom, mladim Cesareom Borgijom kako bi otkrili tko stoji iza tajanstvenih smrti članova papine pratnje. Istovremeno, pojavljuje se i osoba iz Francescine prošlosti koja joj vraća najmučnija sjećanja njenog djetinjstva i dok se Francesca boji da počinje gubiti zdrav razum, samo njezina hrabrost i sposobnost mogu ju vratiti iz ralja ludila i pomoći joj da spasi ono najdragocjenije u njenom životu…

Roma, 1492. Papa Innocenzo VIII sta per morire e tra i cardinali già si è scatenata la lotta per la conquista del Trono di Pietro. In un vicolo del ghetto ebraico, il noto alchimista Giordano viene brutalmente ucciso in circostanze misteriose. Decisa a vendicarne la morte, la sua unica figlia Francesca sfida tutte le convenzioni dell'epoca e riesce a diventare avvelenatrice al servizio del cardinale Rodrigo Borgia, il capo della famiglia più famosa e pericolosa d'Italia, futuro papa Alessandro VI. Francesca è astuta e coraggiosa e conosce bene le debolezze e i desideri degli uomini. In poco tempo diventa la confidente di Lucrezia Borgia e l'amante di Cesare, erede di Rodrigo, insinuandosi così nelle misteriose e corrotte stanze del potere. In una Roma torbida, densa di pericoli e fitta di segreti, Francesca sarà costretta a mettere la propria vita in pericolo e a combattere contro un misterioso nemico, pronto a tutto pur di distruggere ciò che lei tenta strenuamente di difendere: un male oscuro minaccia di spegnere le luci del Rinascimento. Il nuovo Medioevo è alle porte.

Vzepře se konvencím a vydobude si postavení jako travička u kardinála Rodriga Borgii, hlavy nejslavnější a nejnebezpečnější rodiny v Itálii. V pavučině zrad a klamů pronásleduje otcova vraha a přitom rozpoutá střetnutí se silami, které se pokoušejí využít jejích nejtemnějších tužeb, aby dosáhly naplnění svých katastrofických plánů.

Francesca musí v tajných kryptách i rušných ulicích Říma bojovat s vlastními démony a odhalovat spiknutí. A třeba kvůli tomu i sama umřít – a zase vstát z mrtvých.
