The Mediterranean and Constantinople, mid-1490s. Five years after leaving the Ottoman capital, Skiouros has learned how thoroughly vengeance has directed his life. Rescued from French custody by the Romani sailor Dragi, he returns east with Parmenio under an obligation whose meaning is not revealed until they reach the city.

Bayezid II gathers his sons for a great festival while factional tension and a movement of dispossessed people threaten the streets. Skiouros must confront unfinished consequences of the Cem crisis and the divided identity created by conquest, exile and travel. The cycle ends where it began, with the fate of individuals bound to the stability of the Ottoman court.
