Adrianna Borgia - survivor of the Borgia court - presents Michelangelo with the greatest temptations of his life while struggling herself with soul-threatening desires and heresies.

What if the ancient cities synonymous with depravity were in fact a paradise of harmony? What if the 'one righteous man' who escaped the annihilation was a murderous fanatic, his 'angels' genocidal terrorists, his daughters the victims of incestuous rape? Justice is a long time coming, but finally the serene waters of the Red Sea give up the ancient secret of a holocaust and of a millennia-old lie. Undersea sculptor Joanna Boleyn and film actress Kaia Kapulani discover that righteousness can conceal its own depravity, that art sells more truth than scripture, and that challenging authority can be mortally dangerous.
