Descripción

Libro The mosaic of shadows. AN ASSASSIN IS ON THE LOOSE…AND AN EMPIRE STANDS IN PERIL. Byzantium, 1096: When a mysterious assassin fires his arrow at the Emperor, he has more than a man in his sights; as the keystone of a crumbling empire, if he falls, then the mightiest power in Christendom will be torn apart. Aware of the stakes, the Emperor hires Demetrios Askiates, the unveiler of mysteries, to catch the would-be-killer.

But Demetrios is entering an unknown and mysterious world and must edge his way through a glittering maze of treachery and deceit before time runs out. Nor are all enemies within the city walls. With the Turks rampant across Asia, the Emperor has sent to the west for mercenaries to reinforce his position.

When a great army, tens of thousands strong, appears before the gates, he gets more than he bargained for. The first crusaders have arrived, intent on making their fortunes in war, and they have no allegiance to an empire they eye with jealousy and suspicion.

As the armies of east and west confront each other, and the assassin creeps ever closer to his prey, Demetrios must untangle the golden web of intrigue which surrounds the Emperor before the city – and the empire – are drowned in blood.

    In theory, I shouldn’t really like this book. The majority of historical fiction that ticks my boxes tends to be that which is based around battles, bloody intrigue and grisly realism. In other words, a lot of action.

    Disregard the rather misleading blurb from the back cover of the book. This book, for the most part, revolves around a plot to assassinate the Emperor Alexius by a shadowy fanatical monk and an amazingly modern weapon called a tzangara (or a crossbow to you and me). There is relatively few instances where blood is shed, though not so few as to be a bloodless book, and yet maintains my interest for the majority of the book.
