In the turbulent era of the 16th century and at the dawn of the 17th, the Mediterranean is ablaze. Venetians, Spaniards, Franks, and Ottomans, wielding great power, battle ceaselessly among themselves for the prize of the Mediterranean's trade routes. Their conflicts sometimes take the form of war, as in the Battle of Lepanto, and other times the form of apparent peace, as an undeclared, underground war unfolds with pirates and corsairs at the forefront. In this foggy, competitive, and deadly environment, Captain Petros Lanzas makes his appearance. A nobleman from Corfu who operated on the fringes of history with his own codes of honor, defying the establishment of his time. A secret agent of the two greatest leading powers of the Mediterranean, but also a corsair who never forgot his roots. His life and career are stormy, varied, akin to the sea he so adored and loved, for in its embrace he experienced battle, glory, pain, betrayal, and love. Petros Lanzas, with his actions and indomitable character, writes pages of glorious struggles and dark intrigues and carves a life mission towards redemption. A journey into the dark, mysterious, yet simultaneously fascinating world of piracy and espionage.
