Plot

Caprice and Rondo (1997) 1474-1476. Set largely in Italy, Poland, the Crimea, Persia, Russia, and Flanders/Burgundy. "Winter, 1474: In the frozen port of Danzig, Nicholas de Fleury, one-time soldier, merchant, and banker to kings, leads his raffish companions on frivolous, drunken adventures that give little indication of the dark and complex events that have brought him among them - his activities as a spy; his shifts of allegiance from the Duke of Burgundy to the Holy Roman Emperor, and back; the mischief-making at the court of Scotland so vicious that his disgusted friends cast him into justifiable exile.". The volumes are as follows: Niccolò Rising (1986) Spring of the Ram (1987) Race of Scorpions (1989) Scales of Gold (1991) The Unicorn Hunt (1993) To Lie with Lions (1995) Caprice and Rondo (1997) Gemini (2000)
