The Four of Morea
THE FOUR OF MOREA
Four friends. One occupied homeland. A revolution that will change them forever.
Greece, 1821.
For generations, the people of the Morea have lived under Ottoman rule. But across the mountains and villages of the Peloponnese, whispers of rebellion are becoming impossible to silence.
Dimitrios Vassilis is a blacksmith's son with a dangerous temper. Nikolas Petrakis is a hunter who knows the mountains better than any road. Andreas Kouris is an educated young man who understands the power of ideas, while Yannis Markos is a quiet shepherd carrying the memory of a father lost to Ottoman rule.
They are not soldiers.
They have no uniforms, no military training and no desire for glory.
But when revolution erupts, the four friends are drawn into a struggle far greater than themselves.
From ambushes in remote mountain passes to the fighting around Tripolitsa and the desperate struggle for control of the Morea, the friends must rely on courage, cunning and each other to survive. As the rebellion grows into war, they cross paths with legendary Greek commander Theodoros Kolokotronis and discover that winning freedom will demand a price none of them fully understood when they first picked up their weapons.
Inspired by the events of the Greek War of Independence, THE FOUR OF MOREA is a sweeping historical adventure of rebellion, sacrifice, friendship and ordinary men caught in an extraordinary fight for freedom.
For readers who enjoy fast-paced historical fiction, military adventure, epic battles and stories of brotherhood forged in war.
