Produktbeschreibung

Renaissance Florence: a city of breathtaking art, veiled secrets, and the whispers of forgotten magic. 1482.  The Medici reign supreme, but beneath the veneer of power, the noble Casa di Bellarosa hides a dark secret-the binding of a dragon's magic to their bloodline, a pact that fuels their ascent while corroding their souls. Alessandra Bellarosa, betrothed to the formidable Duke Lorenzo de' Medici, yearns for a life beyond duty. Haunted by the dragon's lament and the weight of her family's guilt, she finds solace only in the hidden gardens of her villa.  But her world is shattered by the arrival of Lucian D'Angelo, a scholar with eyes like molten gold and a secret heritage tied to the very dragon her family enslaved. Their connection is instant and undeniable, a spark ignited amidst the opulent tapestry of a Florentine ball.  Lucian seeks the Dragon's Tear, a mystical artifact not for power, but to understand the pact that decimated his kind. Alessandra, drawn to his intensity, sees in him a reflection of her own yearning for truth and freedom. Their forbidden love blossoms amidst the shadows of citrus groves, their whispered secrets weaving a dangerous dance of defiance. As they search for the Tear, they uncover a hidden world of magic, secret societies, and mythical creatures. But their quest awakens a looming threat, a magical imbalance caused by the Bellarosa family's greed. The Duke, consumed by jealousy and manipulated by the cunning courtesan Isabella Romanov, tightens his grip on Alessandra.  Isabella, mirroring the ambition of Alessandra's ancestors, craves the Dragon's Tear for herself, envisioning a Florence reshaped in her own image. Caught in a web of deceit, Alessandra must choose between duty and desire, family and forbidden love.  At a masked ball, where hidden agendas and magical forces collide, Isabella unleashes chaos, threatening to unravel the very fabric of Florence. Alessandra, empowered by love and the awakening of her own dragon heritage, makes a pivotal choice.  She joins Lucian, not as a noblewoman, but as an equal, wielding the remnants of the dragon's magic to restore balance.  Their fight against Isabella becomes a battle for the soul of Florence itself. In a breathtaking display of magic, they confront Isabella, the Duke's illusions shattering as the truth of his manipulated affections is revealed. But their victory comes at a price.  Alessandra, choosing redemption, forfeits her place in society. She and Lucian, bound by love and legacy, leave Florence, embarking on a new path, where the dragon's song, silenced for generations, can finally rise again.
