Mosaic Of Shadows
Byzantium 1096. When a mysterious assassin looses his arrow at the Emperor he has more than a man in his sights; the keystone of a crumbling empire the Emperor is the solitary figure holding its enemies in check. If he falls then the mightiest power in Christendom will be torn apart. Aware of the stakes the Emperor hires Demetrios Askiates the unveiler of mysteries to catch the would-be-killer. But Demetrios is entering an unknown and mysterious world a bubbling cauldron of princes slaves mercenaries pimps and eunuchs. From the depths of the slums to the golden towers of the palace and from the sands of the hippodrome to the soaring domes of Ayia Sophia he must edge his way through a glittering maze of treachery and deceit before time runs out. Nor are all enemies within the city walls.
With the Turks rampant across Asia the Emperor has sent to the west for mercenaries to reinforce his position. He gets more than he bargained for however when a great army tens of thousands strong appear before the gates. The first crusaders have arrived intent on making their fortunes in war and they have no allegiance to an empire they eye with jealousy and suspicion. As the armies of east and west confront each other and the assassin creeps ever closer to his prey Demetrios must untangle the golden web of intrigue which surrounds the Emperor before the city - and the empire - are drowned in blood. A gripping historical epic that transports the reader back to an eventful and exhilarating era: the violence and intrigue of the Middle Ages.
