*Book Description*
Drink from the cup of the Borgias....If you dare!
From birth, Cesare Borgia is surrounded by shadows. Damned by his own father, hated by his closest brother, separated from the sister who loves him, and driven by the demons of Hell itself, his quest for power threatens to set the world of Renaissance Italy ablaze--unless one innocent person can drive away the poisonous shadows ravaging him.
Enter the world of the Borgias. A world of unspeakable conspiracies and forbidden desires. A family whose murderous intrigues would make them infamous throughout history. A history written in blood....and a poison called Cantarella.
Since I'm no good at these descriptions, I'll let you discover for yourself how Cesare, the b*****d son of a Catholic priest in line for the Papacy, finds himself in trouble abounding, and demons threatening to end his sanity....and life. Follow him from boyhood to manhood, all the while dealing with his confusing parentage, his vindictive siblings, and the blackness that plagues him to no end. Will a whily, blonde assassin named Michelotto, a being sworn to kill him, be the only defense young Cesare has against himself? Read Cantarella and discover a whole new world of one of the most infamous families of the time. Beautifully written and drawn, this manga will surely drag you into its pages and refuse to let go.
