Description

Twelfth-century Norman Sicily is a complex and fragile world, where different cultures coexist in uneasy harmony. King Roger presides over Palermo, but beneath the surface, schemes and machinations are at play. Thurstan Beauchamp, a young civil servant, is tasked with investigating a conspiracy against the king. As he navigates this treacherous landscape, his loyalties are tested by personal relationships and conflicting allegiances. A tale of ambition, politics, and loss of innocence unfolds, set against the glittering backdrop of medieval Europe. This powerful novel explores the clash of civilizations from its historical origins, with resonances that remain relevant today.
