All the wonders of the Mediterranean have not
prepared the English for the splendours of Constantinople. As Siward of
Gloucester settles into the city, he is grateful to have finally found what he
was looking for: A fine, god-fearing lord he is proud to serve and a safe place
where he and Oswyth can await the birth of their child.
But as the months pass, doubts creep in. Emperor
Michael proves to be a weak ruler, continually threatened with rebellion.
Determined to keep the English army close, his promises of reward grow
increasingly vague.
With tension in the city rising, Siward and his
friends are caught up in the power struggle. While Bridwin maintains his
loyalty to the emperor and Siward continues to trust in the friendship of the
cunning Alexios Komnenos, Frebern grows close to John Bryennios, a man whose
ambitions may include the imperial throne itself. With the friends drawn in
different directions, Siward fears they could find themselves fighting on
opposing sides.
Desperate to escape, he renews his efforts to find
the home the English have so long craved. But the beauty of Constantinople
conceals dangers that go far beyond Siward’s fears as sordid secrets and
ruthless betrayal stalk the lives of those he holds dear.
As the English prepare for battle yet again, will
Siward’s quest for New England end in heart-breaking tragedy?

Author Bio:
Anna Chant grew up in Essex, with her
first home a tiny medieval cottage. Aged 18 she moved to Yorkshire to study
history at the University of Sheffield. In 2015, inspired by her love of medieval
history and her Scottish ancestry, Anna started writing her first book with
Kenneth’s Queen, the tale of the unknown wife of Kenneth Mac Alpin, published
the following year. Taking inspiration from both history and legend, she
particularly enjoys bringing to life the lesser known people, events and
folklore of the past. When not writing, Anna enjoys walking the coast and
countryside of Devon where she lives with her husband, three sons (if they’re
home) and a rather cheeky bearded dragon.
