The year is 1531. After years of brutal war & political intrigue, the bastard son of a Medici Duke & a `half-negro` maidservant rides into Florence. Within a year, he rules the city as its Prince. Backed by the Pope & his future father-in-law the Holy Roman Emperor, the nineteen-year-old Alessandro faces down bloody family rivalry & the scheming hostility of Italy`s oligarchs to reassert the Medicis` faltering grip on the turbulent city-state.
