Armed with only a sword, his wits, and a trunkful of ancient scrolls, Marcellus must protect Byziana and her siblings as they journey across the wilds of Byzantium. Their mission to recover the family’s lost fortune comes at a cost—delivering Byziana into the hands of her future husband, the powerful and ruthless Belisarius.
