"Blixt is a man of many talents - actor, director, author. In his hands, history comes to bright, blazing life." - Sharon Kay Penman, author of Lionheart and The Sunne In Splendour Prepare to be swept away by the thrilling epic of love, destiny, and treacherous adventure with the third book in David Blixt's mesmerizing Star-Crossed Series! In the turbulent world of Renaissance Italy, 'Fortune's Fool' continues the saga of Romeo and Juliet like you've never seen before. Italy, 1326. Cesco, the mercurial heir to Verona, is thrust into a deadly game of politics under the stern guidance of a relentless master. Meanwhile, Pietro Alaghieri embarks on a treacherous journey to the heart of the Papacy in Avignon, fighting for Cesco's rightful place and battling excommunication. Little does he know that a cunning enemy, long in the shadows, is poised to shatter his life and seize Verona's throne. As Cesco faces trials of wit and courage, he finds himself pitted against a power-hungry cousin, an enigmatic assassin, and even the formidable Holy Roman. Separated from his allies, Cesco's fate hangs in the balance as a harrowing series of adventures reveal a secret long hidden, one that threatens Cesco's only chance for true happiness. Inspired by Shakespeare, Dante, and Petrarch, this Renaissance novel of intrigue and passion reflects the heights of drama, exploring the capricious whims of lady Fortune, who has her favorites—and her fools. Replete with swashbuckling adventure, unrequited love, and brutal treachery, this epic journey recalls the best of Bernard Cornwell, Sharon Kay Penman, and Dorothy Dunnett.
