About this Item

Titles, preface & contents list to front. The book tells the story of Andronike, a young woman who becomes a key figure in the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century. Andronike is born into a wealthy Greek family in Constantinople, but her life takes a dramatic turn when her father is killed by Ottoman soldiers. She is forced to flee to the Greek island of Hydra, where she becomes involved in the revolutionary movement. Andronike proves herself to be a skilled fighter and strategist, and she quickly rises through the ranks of the Greek rebels. She becomes a trusted advisor to the revolutionary leader, Theodoros Kolokotronis, and plays a crucial role in many of the key battles of the war. The novel is based on real historical events and characters, and Xenos paints a vivid picture of the brutal and chaotic world of the Greek Revolution. The book also explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, as Andronike struggles to balance her commitment to the cause with her personal relationships. 6-pages of publisher's books reviewed to rear.
