"Combine elements of evil kings and dukes, Game of Thrones-style characters, and the horrific Bastille Prison, and you have everything set for an explosive medieval thriller novel. It's a great cast with very engaging characters. Fantastic dialogue that pulls you in. And there are already enough stakes within the story to keep you engaged.” - Reedsy Discovery

“An interesting premise coupled with a colourful set of characters and a twisting plot makes for a fun and engaging read. Mr Freeman takes his readers on quite the adventurous journey. This is an entertaining, well-written read with a likeable cast of protagonists." - Historical Novel Society

A sacred artifact. An impossible rescue. And the threat of war hanging over all...

During the height of the Renaissance, the Annunciation—a sacred painting said to protect the Republic of Florence from foreign invasion—is stolen by French mercenaries.

After Florentine spy Elena Borseli sends word of the painting’s location in an underground lair beneath Notre Dame Cathedral, she falls into an ominous silence.

Enigmatic sea captain Niccolo Corsini has been tasked with an impossible quest: lead a small band into the heart of France to recover the Annunciation and rescue Lady Borseli from the infamous Bastille Prison. Yet even if he succeeds in either objective, how can Niccolo transport the members of his Florentine Order and the Annunciation across hundreds of miles of hostile territory? And can he reach Florence in time to warn it of the threat of an imminent invasion?
