Can the She-Wolves of Siena survive the lion's den? Luciana Betarrini is living a nightmare. Blinded in battle, she is unsure what her future holds. When Lady Tiliani Forelli volunteers to serve as the young Lady Romano's governess-in order to protect the child-Luciana quickly follows suit, volunteering as a tutor. But as they navigate life in the treacherous neighboring castello, they find Lord Ercole a chameleon of adversaries, intent on mastering the She-Wolves of Siena any way he can. Together, Luciana and Tiliani must find a way to bring Ercole down and buy time for Domenico and Marcello to establish new allies. But Luciana continues to find herself at a crossroads: Is she willing to risk leaving Sir Giulio Greco forever in order to chase healing through the time tunnel? Or is she called to accept her plight-in light of the myriad blessings of her new medieval life-and make her way through the best she can?
