The Queen of Cities continues the sweeping saga of Rotko, the Tavastian warrior first introduced in Kings Without Land. Torn from his northern homeland and driven ever south along the Eastern Route, Rotko now survives as a mercenary in the personal guard of the Roman emperor. The splendor of Constantinople surrounds him—yet his life feels hollow, shadowed by the vengeance of the Grand Prince of Rus and the memories he cannot escape.

Everything changes on a blood-soaked frontier battlefield. Rotko awakens alone, wounded, and stripped of his past, a jewel-bright war banner lying beside him like an omen. Fleeing hostile lands, he finds refuge on the estate of Maria Argyropoulina, a renowned trainer of racing chariots. In her household of speed, color, and fierce ambition, Rotko heals—body and spirit—and begins to dream again. But as he pieces together the truth of his lost memories, he uncovers whispers of a conspiracy rooted in the Queen of Cities itself… a plot capable of shaking the empire to its core.

An epic tale of identity, survival, and the price of destiny, The Queen of Cities is the second installment of the Tavastian Trilogy—an unforgettable journey from the icy North to the golden heart of Byzantium.
