Next week the audiobook for The Master Of Verona hits Audible. There are revised editions of both MoV and Voice Of The Falconer, and a new print edition of MoV, with the others following soon. Not wanting to leave any out, all the books got a facelift. These are being shared around social media this week and next, and I'll keep posting them here for fans. These were done by the terrific Kim Killion of The Killion Group, who worked tirelessly to craft the perfect look for the whole series.
If you haven't read it, Fortune's Fool contains many of my favorite moments in the series, with both the grand romance of Cesco and Lia and the trial of Pietro Alaghieri at the court of Pope John XXII at Avignon. And the end is probably the best ending of a novel I'll ever write, for sheer brutality and pathos. Here's the official description:
Italy, 1326. While the brilliant and wily Cesco is schooled in his new duties at the hand of a hard master, Pietro Alaghieri travels to Avignon, current seat of the Papacy, to fight his excommunication and plead for Cesco's legitimacy. He doesn't know an old foe has been waiting to ruin Pietro’s life and seize control of Verona for himself.
Back in Verona, separated from everyone he trusts, Cesco must confront his ambitious cousin, a mysterious young killer, and the Holy Roman Emperor himself. A harrowing series of adventures reveal a secret long hidden, one that threatens Cesco's only chance for true happiness.
Inspired by Shakespeare, Dante, and Petrarch, this Renaissance novel of intrigue and passion reflects the heights of drama, exploring the capricious whims of lady Fortune, who has her favorites – and her fools.
