Description
The Ottoman Turkish Empire occupied Greece from 1453 to 1829. Agents of the Sultan’s elite Janissary Corps murder Giorgi’s parents. Seeking revenge, he and brother Yianni join the outlawed Greek guerrillas. A tragic tale of his revenge ensues. The setting for this historical novel, from 1790 to 1829, takes place in the craggy mountains of the Peloponnese region of southern Greece.

The tale comprises the lives of three generations of a family and of the cruel treatment inflicted upon them by the Turks
