The Falcon Takes Wing

The first sequel to the international bestseller The Falcon of Siam.

Opulent, exotic, steeped in the customs of a thousand years of unchallenged sovereignty - seventeenth century Siam is courted and coveted by the rulers of Europe.

One man keeps history at bay. Once a Greek cabin boy, now exalted Prime Minister of mighty King Narai, it is Constantine Phaulkon who commands the audience of traders, ambassadors, courtiers and kings.

Yet he is far from secure. Threatened by rivals, pirates and enemies, caught between two women who love him, ever prey to the warmongering ambitions of the French, Phaulkon is taxed to the very limit of his strength and ingenuity.
