Set in fifteenth-century Italy, it narrates the rise of Rodrigo Borgia, the cleric who would become Pope Alexander VI.

Written with the collaboration of Carol Gino, it was originally published as «The Family» in 2001; this Spanish edition appeared under the Booket imprint in 2002.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the Italian Renaissance and the power intrigues of the era.
