The Soul of Gold

Based on the true story of a young adventurer from Famagusta, Cyprus, The Soul of Gold follows Marco Bragadino after the Ottoman conquest of the island as he journeys through the courts and great cities of sixteenth-century Europe.

With a borrowed name, a ring set with a red tourmaline, and remarkable resourcefulness, courage and audacity, he presents himself as an alchemist capable of turning common metals into gold. Historical and fictional characters cross paths in a novel of adventure, ambition and deception, set against a Europe in transformation and rebirth.
