The Seas of Morning

by Geoffrey Trease

First published 1976

3.5(16)

A maritime adventure brings young travellers to Rhodes as Christian defenders and Ottoman forces compete for control of the eastern Mediterranean. Voyages, fortifications and divided loyalties shape a conflict in which trade and faith cannot be separated.

Trease uses the island setting to show the strategic importance of sea routes and fortified ports. The novel presents the late medieval Mediterranean as a shared, contested world rather than a simple boundary between two civilisations.
