IRON LOVER recounts the pageantry, the drama, the chivalry, the cruelty and passion of 14th Century Italy. But this was an era that carried memories of Dante and Beatrice, Héloise and Abélard—hence it was not so strange that a penniless young English adventurer should pursue his impossible dream of possessing an Italian princess. BLAZING - BAWDY - MAGNIFICENT This is the Stormy, heroic saga of Sir John Hawkwood who created the notorious White Company and became the most feared conqueror of 14th Century Europe-all because of a woman. From the moment young Hawkwood set eyes on the dark, fiery beauty of Donnina Visconti he knew he would love her for the rest of his life. But he was a penniless adventurer, and she was the daughter of the richest and most powerful man in Italy. To win her became his driving passion. For her, he became a knight, built an army and stormed the mightiest kingdoms of Italy.
