Spoilers ahead
Captain Drakut, called the “Dragon,” is a ruthless Saracen pirate who haunts the Mediterranean with his fast-moving ship. On every raid, he hijacks vessels and abducts the women aboard, selling them as slaves to Turkish slavers in North Africa. Yet his fearsome swagger cracks the moment he encounters the one woman who seems to move him to mercy: the glow-eyed princess Miriam, ruler of a desert Arab tribe. Her presence creates a strange tension in his brutal world, and it’s a tension that will ripple through everyone who crosses his path.
