The corruption and grandeur of Renaissance Rome during young Martin Luther’s real-life visit form the backdrop to this tale of murder, war and papal politics. On arrival, Luther is nearly struck by the body of a naked, murdered cardinal thrust from a whorehouse window. Prime suspects behind this and other assassinations include “warrior” Pope Julius II and two future Medici popes, one of whom will become Luther’s future nemesis, Pope Leo X. Leonardo da Vinci and the infamous Niccolo Machaivelli play roles in a deepening mystery that ranges across war-torn Italy. Forced to work with the licentious artist Raphael and Machiavelli’s winsome daughter Nicola to solve the mystery, Martin Luther battles temptation and sin, while witnessing abuses key to shaping Protestant theology and his future destiny.
