Fantasy / Historical novel - A swaggering swashbuckler set in the Mediterranean and Eurasian melting-pot of the early fourteenth century. Lucas Greco (the Greek) is the bastard son of a Venetian nobleman and a Cretan woman. Apprenticed as a youth to a wealthy Venetian merchant, he makes a lifelong enemy by cuckolding his master and escapes Venice in the service of Catalan knight Jaime de Caza, travelling with him as far as Byzantium. In 1306, after years of wandering, he returns to Byzantium where his path leads him back to the Iberian nobleman, En Jaime, his former employer. En Jaime is now a commander with the Grand Catalan Company, a band of Catalan and Aragonese mercenaries originally hired by the Emperor of Byzantium, but now in an armed standoff with the Byzantine forces after the treacherous murder of their leader En Roger de Flor at the Emperor's command.
