Their revolution would ignite a continent... An epic novel set
during one of the most savage and dramatic moments in European
history. Greece, 1824 In the wild south, the people of the Mani
have risen up against four hundred years of Ottoman rule. But
initial triumph leads to bitter feuding among the Greek victors and
the Sultan sends his vassal, Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, to invade.
Burning everything in his path, he is on the point of victory. Only
the intervention of the Great Powers of France, Russia and Britain
can save Greece. Hara, young daughter of a Maniot chief, is the
fearless symbol of her people's spirit. When she rescues Greek
Prince Tzanis from a shipwreck, on his way to deliver secret gold
for the revolution, they fall in love but are forced apart by
events. Yet a shared resolve to wreak vengeance on Turkish rule
unites them again, and their heroism and sacrifice will ultimately
inspire an unlikely band of men and women to join them in rescuing
Greece. Will their plan to involve the Great Powers succeed before
Greece is destroyed by fire? 'Wonderful history, adventure and a
heart-breaking love story are brought thrillingly to life' - Kate
Mosse
