Plot summary
[edit]Isabella Vernaducci is a young aristocratic woman desperate to save her imprisoned brother. He has been falsely accused of treason and is slated to be executed within the month. She feels she has one chance to save him, the powerful Don DeMarco. The Don is respected and feared throughout the land, and is said that he is gifted with strange powers. She makes the arduous journey to his isolated palazzo.
Once she is granted an audience with the Don and explains her plight, he agrees to help her on one condition: she must become his wife. Stunned but relieved, she agrees, and the plans are set into motion. For all her joy at saving her brother, there are powerful undercurrents of unease.
