The Spring of the Ram. The House of Niccolo 2, Paperback

In 1461, the mysterious enigmatic Nicholas is in Florence. Backed by none other than Cosimo de' Medici, he will sail the Black Sea to Trebizond, the last jewel missing from the crown of the Ottoman Empire. But trouble lies ahead. Nicholas' step-daughter has eloped with his rival in trade: a Machiavellian Genoese who races ahead of Nicholas.
