Publisher's Synopsis
In the turbulent waters of the 14th-century Mediterranean, power is shifting, loyalties are fragile, and rebellion simmers beneath the surface.
Flavius Fettotempi, the son of a noble Cretan family, flees to Athens after a failed uprising and the brutal execution of his father. Pursued by guilt and the weight of his family's legacy, Flavius must navigate a world of political betrayal, cultural tension, and shifting alliances. Along the way, he discovers love-but even that may come at a cost he's not prepared to pay.
Torn between duty and desire, past and future, Flavius is thrust into a conflict that will test the limits of his honor, ambition, and heart.
