Synopsis
Intrigue, corrupt politics, a vendetta which threatens Leonardo and an assassin with diabolical powers propel this story.After the coronation of Pope Julius II, formerly Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, Leonardo and Niccolo return to Florence. Now that the Borgias are gone Italy has become a hotbed of wars and vandettas. Pope Julius immediately declares war on the Venetians and begins confiscating territory held by Cesare Borgia. Florence is at war with Pisa who declared their independence and now controls the principal port of the Arno River denying Florence access. Leonardo is tasked with the job of diverting the river back to the control of Florence. Nothing changes in the school yard of politics.As they are settling in, Niccolo informs the Maestro the Orsini have hired an assassin and put in place a plot to destroy him for exposing a plan to ensure their candidate for the next pope is elected (see previous book in this series NECROMANCER). Before Leonardo is able to process this new threat he is summond to Machiavelli, secretary to the ruling body of Florence, who confirms the threat and suggests Leonardo accept an invitation from the French King to come to Milan in the hope he will be safer under their protection.The Orsini assassin, Viper, follows the Maestro to Milan and waits for orders to strike.In the meantime, the Arno project is disrupted when a huge monster is spotted in the river and workers are found brutally murdered. Leonardo is called back to solve the murders and what or who the monster is. As he comes closer to solving the mystery Viper is unleashed and sets a plan to lure Leonardo to his death.Discover how a troupe of Commedia players, an eagle and a dwarf thwart the plan and save Leonardo., Leonardo is weary. The tremor in his hand inhibits his ability to paint. His eyesight is failing. The ravages of age depress him. Much of Italy has been under the thumb of Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI and his son Cesare Borgia. For more than a decade, villages were crushed under the heel of Duke Cesare, but the death of Pope Alexander VI aroused in the villages a brief dream of an independence from all political parties and ambitious warlords. Their hopes are immediately dashed when the newly elected Pope, Julius II, wasted no time in declaring war on the vast city states of the Romagna. This is an unsettling time. Political alliances are changing and wars for money and power have everyone scrambling to get their share. The new pope is not popular. An attempt is made on his life with a poison that cannot be identified. Who among the warring families and conspiring cardinals are planning to assassinate him? Pope Julius demands that suspects be apprehended, interrogated and tortured resulting in a growing number of victims succumbing to his vengeance. Because of his knowledge of poisons Leonardo is implicated as a co-conspirator in the attempt on the Pope's life. To clear his name he searches for the identity of the poison which is discovered in an ancient text in the Medici library and exposes the poisoner. Once again the mystery is solved and once again Leonardo is in need of sanctuary from assassination. Will Leonardo ever find peace in his last years? Don't wait - buy now, Leonardo just wants peace.
