Candia: The Fortress That Forgot to Fall (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783950626131)

Candia, 1669. For twenty-one years, the longest resistance in modern history has held against the Ottoman Empire. The fortress will fall - everyone knows it. But beneath its streets, a Venetian captain and an Ottoman engineer, from opposing sides, uncover a secret buried for three thousand years: a peace treaty from a vanished civilization, guarded by a single sign - two clasped hands.

It will not change the course of the war. Candia falls regardless. But it might change the way two enemies look at each other - and the way we see a forgotten moment of European history.

The fifth novel in The Secrets of Crete series.
