Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1mb
Overview: In the dying light of the Roman Empire, a band of mercenaries sail towards destiny.
Among them is John Grant, a battle scarred Scottish veteran haunted by his years in France now chasing coin and purpose. His companions are misfits: Richard, an English archer who was once his enemy; Matteo, a fiery Florentine noble on the run; Radek, a stoic Bohemian; Henrik, a quiet giant with a polehammer and a soft heart; and Katrin, the quartermaster who holds the Company together through sheer force of will.
It is 1452. The Roman Empire is a shadow of itself and Constantinople stands alone.
Across the straits, Sultan Mehmed II prepares to do what centuries of war have failed to achieve: breach the Theodosian Walls and seize the last stronghold of the Christian East. Around him gather engineers, scholars and Janissaries driven by faith, ambition and fire.
Inside the city, Emperor Constantine XI begs the fractured West for help. The Orthodox Greeks bicker with Latin envoys. Traitors whisper in darkened halls. And the mercenaries find themselves at the heart of a civilisation eating itself from within.
