He defended a dying empire. Now he must fight to build a new one.
AD 1204. Constantinople has fallen, conquered by the warriors of the Fourth Crusade. Philip of Cognac—bastard son of King Richard the Lionheart—stood in its defence, only to witness its ruin in fire and betrayal. Now a fugitive in a broken world, he finds new purpose beside Theodore Laskaris, a defiant leader rising from the ashes.
Together, they must rally shattered armies, outwit ruthless rivals, and challenge the power of the Latin Empire. But Philip walks a dangerous path: scorned as a traitor by the Latins, mistrusted as a foreigner by the Romans. In a world divided by language, faith, and ambition, he must fight not just for survival—but for belonging.
A sweeping tale of resistance, rebirth, and reckoning at the end of the Age of Chivalry. Perfect for fans of Sharon Kay Penman, Ben Kane, and Conn Iggulden.
Genre: Historical
