Devoted - A Lorenzo de Medici Fanfiction
19 parts Ongoing Amid the golden age of Florence, Alessia Orsini, a noblewoman from Rome, enters into a politically driven marriage with Lorenzo de' Medici, the man destined to shape history as Il Magnifico. But beyond the splendor of the Medici court lies a city on the brink of transformation-where love, betrayal, and power intertwine, and the line between loyalty and ambition is ever-blurred.
As Alessia navigates the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and whispered intrigues, she finds herself torn between duty and heart. Her growing affection for Lorenzo is overshadowed by the presence of Lucrezia Donati, his long-time muse and mistress. Yet Alessia is no passive pawn-determined to carve her own path, she immerses herself in charitable work, bringing hope to Florence's most vulnerable and forging her own legacy in a city ruled by men.
But Florence is far more than art and culture. Political tensions rise as the Pazzi family plots against the Medici, the Vatican schemes for influence, and distant cities like Imola and Volterra become critical to Florence's future. With war and treachery looming, Alessia must stand by her husband in both the political arena and their personal trials-challenging his actions when necessary, offering guidance, and protecting their growing family.
