Doherty's writing is evocative, providing richly detailed scenes of life in medieval Byzantium.

In AD 1046, the Byzantine Empire teeters on the brink of full-blown war with the mighty Seljuk Sultanate. The two great powers vie to control Anatolia, a land of strife, riven with bloodshed and doubt.

Young Apions life is shattered one night when his family is murdered during a brutal Seljuk raid. Left for dead in his burning home, then rescued but only to be sold into slavery, it seems that he is destined for a cruel life. Until a benevolent Seljuk farmer, Mansur, offers him a second chance at happiness.

Yet, despite his new life of pastoral harmony on Mansur's border farm, a hunger for revenge burns in Apions soul. Then, a fateful encounter draws him down a dark path that leads him right into the heart of a conflict that will echo through the ages.

The gripping first novel in the Strategos series, perfect for fans of S.J.A. Turney and Simon Scarrow.
