The year is 1461. Nicholas is in Florence.Backed by non other thanCosimo de Medici, he will sail the Black sea to Trebizond, last outpost of Byzantium, and last jewel in the missing crown of the Ottoman Empire. But trouble lies ahead. Nocholas's stepdaughter-at the tender age of thirteen-has eloped with his rival in trade: a Machievellian Genoese who races ahead of Nicholas, sowing disaster at every port. And time is of the essence: Trebizond may fall to the Turks at any moment.
