Questa saga di avventure storiche segue un guerriero temprato e un giovane studioso in un viaggio epico pieno di pericoli e scoperte. La loro missione li porta dalle aspre Alpi alla lontana Inghilterra, e ancora più a nord in terre desolate e ghiacciate, raggiungendo persino Costantinopoli. Lungo il cammino, affrontano nemici spietati, superano terreni impervi e scoprono segreti che cambiano la loro percezione del mondo. È una storia di coraggio, amicizia improbabile e la ricerca di significato in mezzo a eventi storici tumultuosi.

AD 1081: Vast empires struggle for dominance From the Normans in the north to the Byzantines in the south, battles rage across Europe and around its fringes. But in the east, an empire still mightier stirs, wielding a weapon to rule the world: gunpowder. Seeking the destructive might of this 'fire drug', the mercenary Vallon is sent by the defeated Byzantine emperor on a secret and near-impossible quest to the far-off land of Song Dynasty China. Leading a highly trained squadron, Vallon is accompanied by the physician Hero, Wayland the English and a young upstart named Lucas. All have their own reasons for going, all have secrets. It's a quest that leads them across treacherous seas and arid desserts, and into an uncharted land of mountains and plains beyond the Silk Road. Many will die... but the rewards could be unbelievable.
