Bellarion the Fortunate
by Rafael Sabatini
“He was destined for the church, but forged for the battlefield.”
From the quiet halls of a monastery to the treacherous courts of Renaissance Italy, a quick-witted orphan navigates a deadly maze of political intrigue and war. Armed with nothing but his brilliant mind and a series of fortunate accidents, he rises to become the most feared strategist in a land ruled by steel and betrayal.
