Description: Dust jacket art by Jan Doubrava. ''A tale of love, intrigue and high adventure. The flaming martyrdom of Joan of Arc opens this historical romance in France at the awn of the Renaissance. Among the onlookers at that terrible spectacle was Pierre, a frightened boy whom Hugh, the armourer, had rescued that morning o the e road outside Rouen. Pierre is apprenticed to the armourer, but his fate does not lead that way. His adventures eventually lead to the remote, forbidding Trapezuntian empire on the border of the Black Sea. Here, for the first time in fiction is a magnificent picture of the barbaric splendor of Trebizond -- sophisticated and polished, but seething with intrigue and amorality.''
