Bellarion the Fortunate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781667661858)

The orphaned Bellarion, sheltered in a monastery, is suddenly propelled into the tumultuous world of 15th-century Italy. Mistaken for a powerful condottiere's son, he is drawn into a web of political intrigue, treacherous alliances, and fierce battles. Bellarion must rely on his sharp intellect and a newfound knack for military strategy to survive and perhaps even thrive amidst the constant warfare and moral compromises of a world far removed from his monastic ideals.

His journey leads him from being a perceived rogue to a respected-though often misunderstood-leader, all while striving to fulfill a promise made to a noble lady.
