‘You are Leon Muller, the man who has never lost a battle and the maker of miracles.’
Leon and his mercenaries have escaped Constantinople and are now wandering beggars. But veterans are never unemployed for long and soon Leon is offered a contract by Vlad Dracula, prince of Wallachia and enemy of the sultan.
But the sultan is now more powerful than ever and Leon finds himself fighting not only the enemy in Wallachia but also lending aid to the beleaguered rulers of Hungary and Serbia as Ottoman forces close in for the kill. The forces arrayed against the sultan are fragmented, riven by jealousies and petty squabbles, unable to present a united front against a rising power that threatens to conquer the whole of Europe. Can Leon and his hardy Swiss soldiers create another miracle to save the day or will they be engulfed in a Balkan bloodbath?
‘Boyar’ is the fifth volume in the ‘Alpine Warrior’ series – the story of Swiss soldier Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was torn apart by civil, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts. Maps of the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia and the Balkans are available to view and download on the maps page of my website.
Genre: Historical
