In the great game of fate, Mimo has drawn the wrong cards. Born poor, apprenticed to a stone sculptor of no stature, he has genius in his hands. Heiress to the Orsini clan, Viola spent her childhood in the shadow of a Genoese palace. She is too ambitious to resign herself to the position assigned to her.
These two should never have met. At first sight, Viola and Mimo swear never to leave each other. Bound by an unbreakable attraction, they endure years of fury as Italy descends into fascism. Mimo takes his revenge on fate, but what good is glory if he must lose Viola?
