Book description
In the Caucasus Mountains around AD 950, two wandering adventurers
and unlikely soul mates live as they please and survive as they can -
as blades and thieves for hire and practised bamboozlers. Until,
following a bloody coup in the Jewish empire of the Khazars, they get
dragooned into the service of a fugitive prince, who burns to reclaim
his throne . . .
Summoning the spirit of The Arabian Nights and The Three
Musketeers, this is a novel brimming with action, raucous humour,
cliff-hanging suspense, and a cast of colourful characters worthy of
Scheherazade's most tantalising tales.
