The year is 1546.

We follow the English delegation, selected by King Henry VIII himself, to the glittering city of Constantinople, where the most amazing tournament ever staged will take place.

Fact & Fiction
As with all Matthew Reilly stories he merges Fact with Fiction, a great paced novel set in Europe with some very famous cast members. Gives a very detailed insight into Queen Elizabeth 1st and the influences that affected her adult life. As always, the Author can’t help himself in the action scenes as he manages to bring the scene to life and extract every emotion of the moment.
