Trilogy: Maroula of Lemnos, Doxanio, Nikiforos Fokas

Three novels, which bring to life the Byzantine and post-Byzantine history, from different paths each. With the mature and poetic writing of the author, they offer the reader pages of emotion and beauty, self-sacrifice and oath. These bloody paths of the genus give our vigilance a dimension of eternity.
Maroula of Lemnos, a little Ioanna of the Weapons, who beautifies our history and foretells the subsequent struggles of women in the independence of the nation.

Doxanio, daughter of the legend, who sacrificed herself for the liberation of Chandakas (Crete)

Nikiforos Fokas, the strong (cruel) recruiter with sad eyes, whose love for the sinful Theophanos and the glory of the empire stood stronger than his oath to God.
