Young Girolamo's life is a series of miracles. It's a miracle that he can see demons
plain as day
and that he can cast them out with the force of his will. It's a miracle that he's friends with Pico della Mirandola
the Count of Concordia. It's a miracle that when Girolamo visits the deathbed of Lorenzo "the Magnificent
" the dying Medici is wreathed in celestial light
a surprise to everyone
Lorenzo included. It's a miracle that when Charles VIII of France invades northern Italy
Girolamo meets him inthe field
and convinces him to not only spare Florence but also protect it. It's a miracle than whenever Girolamo preaches
crowds swoon. It's a miracle that
despite the Pope's determination to bring young Girolamo to heel
he's still on the loose...and
now
running Florence in all but name. That's only the beginning. Because Girolamo Savanarola is not who--or what--he thinks he is. He will discover the truth about himself at the most startling possible time. And this will be only the beginning of hismany lives.
