The year is 1626 in this alternate history love story as the Ottoman Empire braces for the assaults of an English invasion on Athens, Greece. The Greek army, led by a traditional Hellene and alleged grandson of Alexander the Great, Citikos stands to save the Greek mainland, and in the process, hears accounts of the New World far across the sea and ventures there to achieve the same glory that fell upon his grandfather. But as he enters a Cherokee village, he finds himself in conflict with the English once more as he fights to save his newly found friends and truest love against a force that is this time greater and more determined.
