Devil's Fortress
The third instalment in the series on the anti-Turkish wars in Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, and the Mediterranean between 1660 and 1664
Following their dramatic escape from Venetian captivity, Captain Kornelius Báthory and his brother-in-arms, the Cossack Stepan Voronin, head for the Croatian Međimurje, a blood-soaked border region between the Christian and Muslim worlds. Here, using steel and lead, they win the favour of the Croatian Ban Nikola Zrinski, a ruthless slayer of Turks. They agree to join him on a punitive expedition into enemy territory, but first they must help their friend, the young nobleman Bojan Gradović. On the eve of war, their perilous journey leads them to the infamous Devil's Fortress, the only place where they can break a deadly curse. Meanwhile, another, unprecedented danger approaches from distant lands – from the very heart of the Ottoman Empire.
