About this ebook
The novel is set in the middle of the 15th century, and it depicts Skanderbeg's return to Albania, his resistance to the Turks, as well as the fall of Constantinople. The plot revolves around two brothers, Michael and Constantine. These brothers were captured when the Turks raided their town. Constantine is rescued and he grows up to be a devoted Albanian patriot, fighting against the Turks alongside George Castriot who is also known as Skanderbeg. The Turks turn Michael into a Janissary, and he grows up to be a gifted leader and close friend of Mehmed II. Constantine and Michael both have a striking resemblance and their paths continue to cross, resulting in a slew of interesting complications.
