We are at the turn of the sixteenth century in Renaissance Italy (setting is 1501, clothing and characters inspired by the 1490-1540 time period). Romagna, Florence, Ferrara, and Rome have spent generations locked in shifting wars and shorter-lived truces, while French and Spanish ambitions press in from every border. The Holy Roman Emperor, charged by the Pope with binding the peninsula together before it tears itself apart, calls a private convocation. He sends one cardinal, loyal to no house, to broker the marriages, betrothals, and alliances that might hold Italy together. Three days. Four houses. One accord that could reshape the balance of power for generations, if anyone at the table can be trusted to sign it in good faith.
