Rome, Italy 1471 Cecilia Gavino is nothing but a common street whore, a prostitute, a means of pleasure for paying men. Raffaele Sansoni Galeoti Riario is the illegitimate son of Francesco della Rovere, soon to be known as His Holiness - Pope Sixtus IV, the ruler of the papal states, and one of the most powerful men of his time. Thereby making his sons - Princes of the Church. Evidently someone of such high dignities cannot fraternize with a peasant, a whore at that. But Raffaele has always been a rule breaker – and is quite unsatisfied with the ‘pure’ life of a cardinal. A play-hard-to-get whore and a corrupted son of a powerful man only equals one thing. Trouble.
