Viac o knihe

For faithful service to the King, Sir Nicholas Constinos, lead soldier in the Spartan army, is given Karabey Palace, an ancient crumbling ruin situated in the heart of a hostile Turkish countryside. As a Greek stronghold, Sir Nicholas is to keep the peace and demand obedience to Greek law. Although the honorable Nicholas longs for a peaceful coexistence, he quickly learns that the Turkish villagers have little use for or trust in Greek conquerors. When Nicholas encounters the beautiful Leah Baal, daughter of a revered Turkish hero, he loses his heart and is determined to have her for his wife, but by Greek law she is forbidden. Tension builds when Nicholas and Leah unite to face the king Nicholas has defied, the village Leah has betrayed, and the scorned man who makes a blood vow to claim Leah as his own.
