It follows the life of Giulia di Gonzaga, the titular Duchess, as she navigates danger and intrigue in 16th-century Italy, particularly in the wake of a pirate attack led by Barbarossa. The narrative intertwines her personal struggles with themes of loyalty, love, and the complexities of her relationships with those around her, including her steely stepdaughter Isabella and the ambitious Cardinal Ippolito de’ Medici. The opening of the book sets a tense scene as the Duchess lies awake in her lavish chamber, troubled by ominous noises that herald an imminent threat. Instantly drawn into a night of chaos, she springs into action as pirate forces invade her castle. With her attendants—Caterina, an elderly woman, and Cynthia, a Moorish girl—she hurriedly attempts to escape the clutches of the marauders. The chaos and danger provide a gripping backdrop, highlighting Giulia's resilience and the intricate dynamics between her and her servants. This initial conflict propels the narrative forward, establishing both the stakes and the vibrant characters who will shape the Duchess's journey in a perilous world filled with political and personal intrigue.
