Description
A World on Fire by James Heneage is an epic novel set against the backdrop of one of Europe's most turbulent periods. In 1824, Greece was ablaze with revolution as the people of the Mani rose up against four centuries of Ottoman rule. The conflict would soon draw in the Great Powers of France, Russia and Britain, who intervened to prevent the complete destruction of the country. At its heart is a young woman named Hara, whose bravery and spirit inspire an unlikely band of allies in their quest for freedom. When she rescues Prince Tzanis from a shipwreck, they form a bond that will ultimately drive them to take drastic action against Turkish rule. As the stakes grow higher, Hara's determination and courage become the catalyst for a desperate plan to save Greece. With its vivid portrayal of history, adventure and romance, A World on Fire is a gripping tale of heroism and sacrifice.
