In 1870, amid political tensions running high in Venice and Rome, revered military Captain Jean-Louis-Pierre de Pleyssis is at the heart of secret negotiations between the supporters of King Victor Emmanuel II and Pope Pius IX. At stake is the unification of the Eternal City, Rome, to the Kingdom of Italy. Deprived of her husband’s attention and forbidden to pursue her career as a world-class soprano, Gabriella Thornsen de Pleyssis is tempted by the affections of a dashing Italian aristocrat, Jacopo de Castriodrianni, whose intentions in love and politics are questionable. Will Gabriella jeopardize the negotiations and succumb to the mysterious Jacopo?
