The city-state of Bellezza has long been divided by two factions:

the mercenary family Sopporini and the banking family Del Brenta.

Everything began with a marriage proposal between the two families.

Matteo, struggling to suppress his growing feelings for Berenice—the woman destined to become his brother’s wife.

But when he uncovers the secret behind this engagement, his buried ambitions awaken.

He seeks to turn the wheel of destiny and become the key player in a bloody alliance.

A good husband and a great ruler—

he believes he can be both.

Yet, Berenice keeps slipping away from him,

claiming that the life she envisioned is far from this one.

The crown and Berenice—he still cannot let go of either.
