      Mary Boleyn catches the eye of Henry VIII when she comes to court as a girl of fourteen. Dazzled by the golden prince, Mary's joy is cut short when she discovers that she is a pawn in the dynastic plots of her family. When the capricious king's interest wanes, Mary is ordered to pass on her knowledge of how to please him to her friend and rival : her sister, Anne. Anne soon becomes irresistible to Henry, and Mary can do nothing but watch her sister's rise. Anne stops at nothing to achieve her own ambition. From now on, Mary will be no more than the other Boleyn girl. But beyond the court is a man who dares to challenge the power of her family to offer Mary a life of freedom and passion. If only she has the courage to break away - before the Boleyn enemies turn on the Boleyn girls...

    • Rome, 1520. The Eternal City is in mourning after the sudden death of Raphael Sanzio, the beloved painter and national hero. His body lies in state at the Pantheon, while nearby, Margherita Luti, a baker's daughter and Raphael's beloved, seeks refuge at the convent of Sant'Apollonia. Once a cherished figure in Roman society, she is now an outcast, pursued by powerful enemies within the Vatican. Margherita, who appeared as the Madonna in many of Raphael's works, finds herself at a crossroads. The Mother Superior agrees to admit her, but first, Margherita must relinquish the ruby ring she wears, a symbol of her connection to Raphael and their scandalous love. The ring, with its storied past, must be returned to the Church, or she will be cast out into the streets. Within the convent's walls, Margherita grapples with her decision, reflecting on her life with Raphael—the love and torment encapsulated in that one precious jewel.

Pero para conseguirlo no solo deberán confiar en el azar, sino también arriesgar su propia vida y la de miles de personas inocentes...
