Summary: "Bellarion the Fortunate: A Romance" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This captivating tale introduces the protagonist, Bellarion, a young man of remarkable intellect and noble spirit, who embarks on a journey from the safety of a convent into the treacherous world beyond.

The dynamic shifts rapidly when Bellarion finds himself wrongfully accused and on the run in Casale, where he seeks refuge in the garden of Princess Valeria.
