In the vast ocean of time, where the shadows of yesterday blend with the rays of tomorrow, unfolds the story of Petros Lanzas, a nobleman from Corfu who operated on the fringes of history with his own codes of honor. A secret agent for the two greatest leading powers of the Mediterranean, yet a corsair who never forgot his roots. After the peace with the Ottomans (1573), the Serenissima struggles to stop its economic bleeding and to invest once more in the lucrative routes of the Levant, while Spain is left alone continuing the war with the Sultan. In this tense setting, Captain Lanzas abandons his Venetian posts and finds a safe haven in Spanish-ruled Naples, enjoying the hospitality of the notorious viceroy of Naples, Cardinal Granvelle. Despite the bounty placed on his head by the Venetians, he devises new plans, determined to take revenge on the Venetians and the Ottomans at any cost. With his loved ones now in immediate danger, every passing minute is precious, while his companions will not hesitate for a moment to follow the dangerous course charted by their captain. But will they remain loyal to him until the end or will they follow their own course? Has Captain Lanzas run out of options or can he still succeed? Petros Lanzas writes, with his actions and indomitable character, pages of glorious struggles and dark intrigues, carving a life mission towards redemption, and takes us on a journey into the dark, mysterious, yet at the same time exciting world of piracy and espionage.
