Her Name Was Lucrezia

Lucrezia Borgia has gone down in history as a poisoner, a seductress, the infamous daughter of a corrupt pope. But what if the most dangerous thing about her… was how little power she actually had?

Born into one of the most reviled dynasties of the Italian Renaissance, Lucrezia was used, discarded, and blamed, for murders she didn't commit, alliances she didn't choose, and brothers she couldn't control. As she endures annulment, scandal, and the brutal assassination of the only man she ever truly loved, Lucrezia fights to carve out a life of grace in a world that insists on casting her as a villain.

But in a court where rumor kills faster than poison, reputation is a sentence you can't appeal. And history doesn't care who told the lie first.

A tragic, elegant, and emotionally devastating reimagining of the woman behind the legend, Her Name Was Lucrezia explores what happens when a girl is born a Borgia, and dies a myth.
