Amid the intrigue and danger of 18th-century Italy, a young woman
becomes embroiled in romance and treachery with a rider in the
Palio, the breathtaking horse race set in Siena....It's 1729, and
the Palio, a white-knuckle horse race, is soon to be held in the
heart of the peerless Tuscan city of Siena. But the beauty and
pageantry masks the deadly rivalry that exists among the city's
districts. Each ward, represented by an animal symbol, puts forth a
rider to claim the winner's banner, but the contest turns citizens
into tribes and men into beasts--and beautiful, headstrong, young
Pia Tolomei is in love with a rider of an opposing ward, an
outsider who threatens the shaky balance of intrigue and influence
that rules the land.
