A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Rafael Sabatini was born to an English mother and Italian father, both well-known opera singers. At seventeen Sabatini moved to England, where, after a brief stint in the business world, he started to write. His major breakthrough came with Scaramouche, which became an international bestseller and was followed by the equally successful Captain Blood. All his earlier books were then rushed into reprint. Many of his novels were subsequently adapted into classic films which appealed to both a male and female market with their drama, romance and action, set against a variety of historical settings. 'One wonders if there is another storyteller so adroit at filling his pages with intrigue and counter-intrigue, with danger threaded with romance, with a background of lavish colour, of silks and velvets, of swords and jewels' - Daily Telegraph

Présentation de l'éditeur

Columbino, a great mercenary in pre-Renaissance Italy, has developed his own moral code of chivalry to which he ruthlessly and relentlessly adheres. Yet when four women are singularly betrayed as a direct result of this code, he comes to question the very essence of his understanding. He emerges with a renewed passion and an awakened sympathy.
