In the Company of the Courtesan
by Sarah Dunant
Description
In the tumultuous landscape of Renaissance Italy, a courtesan and her loyal dwarf companion flee the brutal sack of Rome, seeking refuge and fortune in the opulent yet treacherous city of Venice. As they navigate the intricate social strata of this vibrant metropolis, their unique partnership—built on wit, beauty, and shrewd survival—begins to yield remarkable success. However, their rising fortunes attract dangerous attention, from passionate lovers to exotic collectors, threatening to unravel their carefully constructed world. Their greatest peril, however, emerges from an unexpected source: a mysterious crippled healer whose presence brings unforeseen consequences, testing the very foundations of their loyalty and desire.
