Description

1571. Chained to a slave galley in the heart of the Mediterranean, it seems that English adventurers Ingoldsby and Hodge might have finally run out of luck. But as former Knights of St John, they've survived worse, and while the men around them drop dead at their oars, they're determined to escape.

By a miracle of fate, they find their way back to dry land and freedom - but unable to return home. With the Ottoman Empire set on strangling the crusading Christian power before it can take root, hostilities between East and West - Muslim and Christian - are vicious and deadly.

And as the sun rises on one day in October, five hours of bloodshed will change the course of history. Once again, the two Englishmen find themselves living on borrowed time. . .

Reviews

Napier is good at evoking the adrenaline rush of all the fighting and swordplay, but excels even more at creating characters who seize the reader's attention and imagination. * SUNDAY TIMES *
The gory historical details is absorbing as Napier invites the reader to travel with these comrades in arms. * BIG ISSUE *
