Series: A Novel of the Borgias

A follow-up to The Serpent and the Pearl, national bestselling author Kate Quinn's brilliant, unputdownable novel of Renaissance Italy. The Lion and the Rose follows the fortunes of the Pope's beautiful concubine, Giulia Farnese as she, accompanied by two unlikely companions, navigates the perilous world of Rome's most notorious, and ruthless, family- the Borgias.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club comes the continuing saga of the ruthless Borgia family that holds all of Rome in its grasp, and the three outsiders thrust into their twisted web of blood and deceit...

As the cherished concubine of the Borgia Pope Alexander VI, Giulia Farnese has Rome at her feet. But after narrowly escaping a sinister captor, she realizes that the danger she faces is far from over-and now, it threatens from within. The Holy City of Rome is still under Alexander's thrall, but enemies of the Borgias are starting to circle. In need of trusted allies, Giulia turns to her sharp-tongued bodyguard, Leonello, and her fiery cook and confidante, Carmelina.

Caught in the deadly world of the Renaissance's most notorious family, Giulia, Leonello, and Carmelina must decide if they will flee the dangerous dream of power. But as the shadows of murder and corruption rise through the Vatican, they must learn who to trust when every face wears a mask...
