ellarion the Fortunate is set in the Marquessate of Montferrat and later in the Duchy of Milan, weaving the story of a clever young man drawn into the complex politics of 15th-century Italy. Abandoned as a child and raised in an abbey, Bellarion sets out as a young man with a letter of introduction from the esteemed abbot, aiming to study in Pavia. However, upon reaching Casale, he is mistaken for an accomplice of the notorious rogue Lorenzaccio da Trino and is forced to flee. Seeking refuge, he stumbles upon a palace where Princess Valeria of Montferrat hides him from his pursuers. Grateful, Bellarion agrees to deliver a message on her behalf to Lord Barbaresco, only to uncover a sinister conspiracy: Barbaresco and his allies are plotting to assassinate Regent Theodore, Valeria's uncle, who himself schemes to seize the throne. Bellarion becomes entangled in a whirlwind of intrigue, involving murder, imprisonment, and daring escapes, eventually leading him to Milan, where even greater challenges await.
