I. A Bride's Foreboding
In the opulent halls of a remote hunting lodge, I find myself trapped in a gilded cage, my heart pounding with the realization that my husband intends to kill me. I am Lucrezia de' Medici, barely sixteen, and for a year I have been the wife of Alfonso, Duke of Ferrara. As I gaze out the window at the misty woods beyond, I cannot help but wonder how I arrived at this moment, teetering on the precipice between life and death. The silk of my gown rustles against my skin, a symphony of fabric that speaks of wealth and privilege. Yet beneath its sumptuous exterior lies a corset of bone and expectation, squeezing the very breath from my lungs. I am a pawn in a game of power and politics, my body a vessel for the continuation of a dynasty. But I will not go quietly into the night. I am my father's daughter, a Medici, and I have faced down a tiger. I will not allow Alfonso to extinguish me.
