With the four sultanate forces defeated, Lelederik continues her advance toward Altun, capital of Torqye. The city's walls are far from robust enough to withstand siege for long; at their weakest point, the Eski-Kapu gate, they barely surpass a tall man's height. But Mahmut is appointed commander of this gate—and soon he'll be pitted against Dirk Wachter, mastermind of the sultanate assault! And meanwhile, miles away, Zaganos' siege of Muhl reaches its climax. Which name is destined to disappear from the annals of Rumeriana—Torqye's, or Balt-Rhein's?!

After saving Zaganos’ army from a clash with the Empire’s southern forces, Mahmut is appointed vice-general taking orders from Zaganos—a de-facto demotion. Torqye's cannons give them a superior advantage against the enemy's fortified walls, but already Mahmut must face the internal power struggles facing his homeland after the war is over. Within Balt-Rhein, the Lelederik family hatches a plot as the newer Hermann nobility come forward as a force—and meanwhile, over in Phoinike, a symbol that has stood strong for over 3,000 years is about to be crushed.

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work—a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . . The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption—and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano. Praise for The Sicilian “Puzo is a master storyteller.”—USA Today “The Balzac of the mafia.”—Time “An accomplished and imaginative writer.”—Los Angeles Times
