Set in the tumultuous backdrop of High Renaissance Italy, the story unfolds as Hugh de Erpingham is sent to assassinate his idol, Marcantonio Vendramin, who has vanished with crucial gold needed to defend Rhodes against an impending Turkish invasion. Amidst the political intrigue and warfare, these two knights, emblematic of a fading chivalric era, engage in a perilous struggle across the Italian city-states. Their clash is not only a fight for survival but also a quest for redemption in a world teetering on the brink of chaos.
