Italy, 1493. Returning from the Atlantic, Skiouros travels through a Europe marked by the Inquisition, displaced communities and the Borgia papacy of Alexander VI. He remains committed to killing Cem Sultan, whose failed bid for the Ottoman throne set the tragedy of his family in motion.
The pursuit across Italy brings Skiouros into the diplomacy surrounding a prince valuable to popes, kings and Bayezid II. Companions old and new question whether assassination will honour Lykaion or complete Skiouros’s moral destruction. Revenge becomes inseparable from international politics, because Cem’s life is worth more to powerful men than his freedom.
