This is a historical novel, which covers the "average" Palaiologos, from Andronikos II Palaiologos to Manuel II Palaiologos, the father of Constantine XI Palaiologos. In this historical novel, George Leonardos refers to the shocking and horrific events of the civil wars between the Palaiologos, which marked the irreversible course towards self-destruction and the dissolution of the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, as Hieronymus Wolf later established its name. This book, the fruit of a thorough study of the historical details and human weaknesses that characterized the aristocracy of Constantinople, a century before its fall, although independent, is essentially a continuation of his previous novel Michael VIII Palaiologos - The Liberator. In this historical novel, the author vividly highlights the heroic and dark events that dramatically affected the lives and future of the inhabitants of Byzantium, events that were either intentionally or unintentionally distorted, so as to contribute to the anesthesia of the people for entire generations. He recounts, in the human dimension of this era, the drama of the empire and its subjects, the gradual conquest of its territories by the Ottomans and its shrinkage, but also the two multi-year dynastic wars, which made the now nominal empire a completely weak city. In this book, which refers to an era about which not many books have been written by Greek authors or historians (perhaps this is due to the unfavorable events that occurred during that historical period). According to G. Leonardo, in this historical novel, truth clearly outweighs fiction, where the latter was used by the author in order to make his narrative easier and more lucid.
