In the Florence of the Medicis and the
Renaissance painters, a young woman grows
in promise and in beauty. Claire Tarleton--
musician, artists model, scholar--blossoms
under the tutelage of her foster parents
Waiter and Elisabeth, who have cared for
her ever since her natural parents died in the
London plague that ahnost claimed a two-
year-old Claire as well. No child could have
had a more loving and protected upbring
ing--yet Claire has always been aware that
she lives in a world of adventure and danger.
Even as one war, waged for over a century
between England and France, is ending,
another is bloodily beginning. As the Turks
advance upon Italy, Claire and her family
flee to Elisabeth s ancestral home, a small
village on Normandy s coast. For Claire, the
move from a warm hub of beauty and culture
to the gray seacoast will prove traumatic.
Here, English by birth but French by
nurture, Claire finds half-denied questions
about her real parents and about her own
future rising strongly to the surface.
