    About this ebook

    “When your blood decides the fate of kings, better to die a lion than a lamb.” Delivered from captivity, burned, desperate and disoriented, Gian finds himself in the care of a blind Monk - Maurus Stigmata. Rescued by the forces of the Holy Eastern Emperor, Gian enters a Byzantine world of esotericism and intrigue. As Gian recovers, little by little he learns the story of the mysterious Maurus and his role in the infamous Fourth Crusade and the sacking of Constantinople. Old debts are called due as Maurus Stigmata is made to atone for his betrayal of his former master. Gian, with the help of Anatolian bandits, races against the sands of time to find his friend and release him from his torturer. In this the second book in The King Maker Saga, Gian finally discovers the truth about his family and the legacy he must now carry alone. The basis for this story is the well documented history of the Faenza family - recovered from Vatican documents, Italian and Arabic chronicles and oral history as passed down from generation to generation over a thousand years.
