"The Roman Empire confronts the might of Islam" -- Cover.-The triumphant Muslim capital is the setting for the fourth in the brilliant series set in the dying days of the Roman Empire, featuring the most compelling anti-hero since Flashman. Murderous intrigue brings Aelric -- Blake's engaging, murderous antihero -- to Damascus as the triumphant Muslim caliphate sweeps up from Arabia to threaten Constantinople itself. Aelric knows the secrets behind Greek Fire -- the flame-throwers that have kept what is left of the once-mighty Roman empire safe until now. And he has very little choice about sharing them with the new rulers. Or so they think ... for Aelric has not lost any of the cunning and courage that so far, have kept him alive.
