"1453. John Grant travels from his humble home in Scotland to the glittering city of Constantinople. His journey will bring him together with a formidable Moor, a fearsome female warrior, a beautiful girl and a crippled Byzantine prince. Drawn by invisible threads, the lives of these people converge at the great Siege of Constantinople. With the city on the brink of disaster, each must make a choice between head and heart, duty and destiny"--Publishers description.
