In eleventh-century Constantinople, the hero of Scott’s next-to-last novel survives imperial political intrigue, a life-or-death struggle with a ruthless mercenary, the high demands of chivalry, and even a trap with a tiger, to join the First Crusade. Scott also explores the impact of emerging Western values on the Greco-Roman sophisticates of the Byzantine Empire.
