Eleventh-century Italy: The Byzantine Empire rules much of Europe,
but in the Italian states to the south it does so in the face of
constant revolt from its unwilling subjects—a strife that extends
from the great trading ports to the rich agricultural lands of
Apulia. The Lombards, heirs to a northern tribe, are no exception
and their leader, Arduin of Fassano, feels the time may have come
to rejoin his brethren and rise up in revolt against their Eastern
rulers. And so he brings into the conflict the fearsome mercenary
brothers, the de Hautevilles, to help him in his quest to destroy
the power of Constantinople. Will the might of the Byzantine Empire
crush Arduin's revolt? Can his ambitious plan succeed, or will the
treachery that stalks the land play into the hands of the Normans?
