Description

A fire rips through the Venetian Arsenal in 1569, setting off a chain of events that will test Emanuele De Zante's loyalty and force him to question his identity. Betrayed by his lover and imprisoned, he embarks on a perilous journey across Europe, pursued by deadly political games that lead all the way to the Sultan's palace in Constantinople. As De Zante navigates this treacherous landscape, the great empires of Venice and the Ottomans threaten the foundations of civilization. With his companions by his side, he spirals headfirst toward a conflict that will determine the course of history. This gripping novel is a tale of espionage, loyalty, and identity, set against the backdrop of 16th-century Europe's complex web of politics and power struggles.
