The Priest’s Tale
Crete, Spain and the Atlantic, 1492. Skiouros leaves Venetian territory with Parmenio and Nicolo, determined to find the surviving conspirator responsible for Lykaion’s death. His private mission intersects with the final fall of Granada and the expulsion of Jews from Spain, which sends refugees and violence across the Mediterranean.
Ottoman admiral Kemal Reis attempts to preserve Muslim lives and influence in Iberia while rival commanders pursue plunder. A captured caravel carries Skiouros into events larger than revenge and towards the voyage associated with a new western world. The novel links imperial rivalry with the displacement of people for whom no victory offers security.
