SON OF TWO FATHERS

SON OF TWO FATHERS by Jacqueline Park, with Gilbert Reid, is the long-awaited final novel in the bestselling Grazia dei Rossi Trilogy, a sweeping historical romance that chronicles the fate of the wife of the Pope's Jewish physician in sixteenth century Renaissance Italy, and later, her only son Danilo del Medigo, as he makes his return to the great Republic of Venice at the height of European Christendom's persecution of the Jews.

April, 1536. Danilo arrives incognito in Venice from Istanbul. With two assassins from Suleiman the Magnificent's court hot on his trail, he seeks refuge in the Venetian Ghetto, and promptly falls in love with the beautiful Miriamne Hazan. But soon Danilo is blackmailed into becoming a spy for Venice, which means he must abandon Miriamne in order to save her. With the Inquisition threatening everyone and the Ottoman Empire poised to invade, fear and panic spread throughout the Jewish communities of Italy, a promise of a new lifeline emerges. Danilo may be the only one who can ensure it.

SON OF TWO FATHERS works brilliantly as a standalone historical romance or as part of the bestselling trilogy.
