About this title

Synopsis

In the year 542, John the Lord Chamberlain investigates the death of his elderly servant's old army friend in Constantinople, where he is faced with a wealth of suspects, including a court poet and a holy fool, and finds nothing is what it seems in this city rife with plague, terror, and discord.

About the Authors
