At the same time, there is trouble in Byzantine throne - a pretender to the throne is gathering European backers.

So now, the newly married Theophilos and Viola must go to Constantinople to gather information, thwart the rivals of the Guild, stop the war, and maybe - just maybe - stay alive.We automatically combine shipping with multiple book orders via USPS Media Mail unless instructed other wise.
