Product Description
In 1461, the mysterious enigmatic Nicholas is in Florence. Backed by none other than Cosimo de' Medici, he will sail the Black Sea to Trebizond, last outpost of Byzantium, and the last jewel missing from the crown of the Ottoman Empire. But trouble lies ahead. Nicholas' step-daughter - at the tender age of thirteen - has eloped with his rival in trade: a Machiavellian Genoese who races ahead of Nicholas, sowing disaster at every port. And time is of the essence: Trebizond may fall tot he Turks at any moment. Crackling with wit, breathtakingly paced, "The Spring of the Ram" is a pyro technic blend of scholarship and narrative shimmering with the scents, sounds, colors and combustible emotions of the 15th century.

jacquie (United Kingdom) (2018/03/19):
House of Niccolo #2Having taken control of the business that trained him, Niccolo - brilliant, maverick, deceptive - is now a merchant adventurer journeying to the fabled city of Trebizond.
He means to capture for the Charetty company the priceless silk and spice caravans from the steppes. But Niccolo is not without enemies, nor is the increasingly powerful Charetty Empire - and the East is alive with intrigue, jealousy and passion.
