V lete roku 1493 je Roderigo Borgia takmer rok pápežom Alexandrom VI. Francesca Giordanová, prenasledovaná tieňmi vlastnej minulosti, zohrala kľúčovú úlohu pri Borgiovom zvolení na stolec svätého Petra a teraz dostala príkaz udržať ho na ňom. Ako dvorná travička najznámejšieho a najnebezpečnejšieho rodu v Taliansku táto majsterka smrti stojí zoči-voči pavučine nebezpečenstiev, intríg a zákerností ohrozujúcich renesančnú osvietenosť. Nebezpečenstvá sa vynárajú zo všetkých strán, preto Francesca vymyslí zúfalý plán a riskuje vlastný život. Jej protivníkom je šialenec rozhodnutý zničiť to, čo sa zaprisahala chrániť. Poznačená vlastnou zmyselnosťou, posadnutosťou a vierolomnosťou, v tajných rímskych kryptách z pätnásteho storočia aj v rušných uliciach mesta musí bojovať aj s démonmi vlastnej temnej povahy. Za každú cenu musí zabrániť sprisahaniu zameranému na zosadenie Borgiu, získanie moci nad kresťanským svetom a uvaleniu sveta do večného temna.

V lete roku 1492 sa vo Večnom meste Ríme prebúdza obludné zlo. Brutálna vražda alchymistu Giordana spúšťa zúfalé úsilie o odhalenie sprisahania. Hrozí, že svetlo renesancie zhasne a Európu uvrhne späť do stredovekej tmy. Krásna Francesca Giordanová je odhodlaná pomstiť otcovu vraždu, keďže nikto z mocných o to nemá záujem. Naučila sa veľa z otcovho remesla. Poruší všetky pravidlá, aby získala miesto travičky u kardinála Rodriga Borgiu, hlavy najznámejšej a najnebezpečnejšej rodiny v Taliansku. Stáva sa dôverníčkou jeho dcéry Lukrécie Borgiovej a milenkou Cesara Borgiu. V pavučine zrady a úskokov prenasleduje otcovho vraha z hlbín rímskeho židovského geta do výšin samého Vatikánu. Zároveň sa odohráva jej súboj s pradávnymi silami, ktoré jej najtemnejšie túžby chcú využiť na dosiahnutie vlastných hrozivých cieľov...
