Florence, 1288. In a dark city ruled by Corso Donati, leader of the Guelphs, the young Dante Alighieri faces his destiny. Torn between his love for Beatrice, his marriage to Gemma Donati, and his friendships with figures like Giotto and Guido Cavalcanti, Dante is drawn into the brutality of war. Following the tragedy of Ugolino della Gherardesca, the poet joins the Florentine feditori, participating in the bloody Battle of Campaldino. This experience profoundly shapes his life, transforming him both as a man and as the poet history will remember. This historical novel by Matteo Strukul delves into the mysteries and secrets surrounding the youth of the author of the Divine Comedy, offering a gripping and raw look at medieval Italy and the events that forged the character of one of history's greatest writers.
