Murder and intrigue in medieval Byzantium.
Tom Harper is the pseudonym for author Edwin Thomas. Writing as Thomas, he won the Crime Writers' Association debut award in 2001 for his swashbuckling naval historical novel The Blighted Cliffs, the first book in the 'Reluctant Adventures of Lieutenant Martin Jerrold' series. This is his second novel and his first as Tom Harper.
An epic tale of murder and betrayal, bloodshed and romance.
Gripping from the first page, the reader is swept up in this
colourful and convincing portrayal of an Emperor and his realm,
under seige. Well-researched and cinematic in its imagery, this is
a faced-paced and exciting debut
*Ink*
Harper's...portrayal of the Byzantine city and the intrigues that
threaten its destruction is vivid and convincing
*Joan Smith, Sunday Times*
It’s a world which Harper brings exuberantly to life, clearly
revelling in its teeming, tumultuous extravagance
*Yorkshire Post*
