In 1087, After their victory in Thrace, the emperor Alexios and his trusted warlord, Thorkell Skaldsson, have returned to Constantinople. Their respite is only brief. Soon word reaches them of Chaka Bey, the feared Dragon Pirate, ravaging the coasts of Anatolia. At the same time the Turks are gathering in force to destroy the imperial garrisons in the east, weakened by decades of civil war. While Thorkell leads the Roman armies into Anatolia, Alexios sends fleet after fleet against Chaka Bey. Yet they are all destroyed. Then Chaka Bey forms an unholy alliance with a mighty host of invading Pechenegs. Constantinople itself, the Queen of Cities, is threatened by sea and land.
