A dark continent glittering with riches in gold, ivory, and dusky flesh, populated with fabulous beasts, and ruled by cannibal kings who sat on thrones of human skulls. What really lay beyond the horizon? Princes and pirates,commoners and convicts, they gambled their fortunes--and their lives--on a journey from which many would never return.
1453. As Constantinople falls to the mighty armies of Mohammed II, cutting off the trade routes to the east, a bold and enterprising few hope to open a new route to wealth and discovery. Among those who dare to chart a course into the unlmown are young Aldo Cavalli, scion of a vast shipping fortune, htmgry for adventure and fame.Sir Robert Denbigh, a nobleman unjustly sentenced to death for treason, who sails the seas as a pirate with the strong-willed woman he loves. And Giovanni Ruggi, a soldier whose desire for revenge will drive him from the bloody ruins of Constantinople to the ends of the earth itself.
