Constantinople in 1204 A.D. was an exciting and dangerous place. While the Christian Knights Templar and Mohammedan Assassins vied for power in the city, the Emporor's court seethed with plots and intrique, and Constantine's father, the loyal Viking Captain of the Emporor's Guards, was a man whom may wished dead. Written in bold, dramtic strokes this book is a masterful recreation of one of history's most complex and fascinating episodes.
