"Michael VIII Palaiologos - The Liberator" is the historical novel that brings to life one of the most powerful Byzantine personalities and at the same time one of the most important eras of Hellenism, as it began to be reborn at the beginning of the Palaiologos era of Byzantium. It is a fictional biography of Michael VIII Palaiologos, the founder of the homonymous dynasty, the man who achieved unimaginable achievements for his time, thanks to his resourceful and even devilish mind, in order to restore the wounded empire. It begins with the disaster of the Fourth Crusade - a topic that still preoccupies historical researchers today - and reaches as far as the Sicilian Vespers, which Michael indirectly but actively fostered. Between these two world-historical events, there is the great conspiracy and the murders for the imperial office, the victory in the battle of Pelagonia and of course the recovery of Constantinople, which had been occupied by the Franks, which was achieved with a thousand and two tricks and intrigues by Palaiologos. It is a historical reading for the 13th century, full of passions and loves, but also with a political, diplomatic and ecclesiastical background, with battles for power that left their indelible mark on History. It combines a fast pace with academic accuracy. (From the publication)
