You are Leon Muller, the man who has never lost a battle and the maker of miracles.’
Leon and his mercenaries have escaped Constantinople and are now wandering beggars. But veterans are never unemployed for long and soon Leon is offered a contract by Vlad Dracula, prince of Wallachia and enemy of the sultan.
But the sultan is now more powerful than ever and Leon finds himself fighting not only the enemy in Wallachia but also lending aid to the beleaguered rulers of Hungary and Serbia as Ottoman forces close in for the kill. The forces arrayed against the sultan are fragmented, riven by jealousies and petty squabbles, unable to present a united front against a rising power that threatens to conquer the whole of Europe. Can Leon and his hardy Swiss soldiers create another miracle to save the day or will they be engulfed in a Balkan bloodbath?
‘Boyar’ is the fifth volume in the ‘Alpine Warrior’ series – the story of Swiss soldier Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was torn apart by civil, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts.

BLOG POST > #FEATURED #PAPERBACK #BOOK ● ▸▸▸ Moral Compass: A Memoir by Ms. Susan Joan Berger

I was raised with the understanding that I would never have to work outside the home. Looking beautiful and keeping a nice house seemed to be the only requirements for my life. Then my mother died when I was 10, and my father's alcoholism raged. The decline in our circumstances was slow at first, then sudden. I ended up living with other families and couch-surfing for years. I observed the harsh realities of not being able to support oneself. I grew up in a deteriorating factory town where some of my girlfriends became strippers to earn money. My first boyfriend joined the mob. Clinical depression forced me to face and then change my reality.

Financial institutions were exclusively male-dominated at that time. As a consequence of being raised by an alcoholic father, I had a predilection for alcoholic men. I ended up at Fidelity Investments, where I was the only financial professional without a college education. I became a stock analyst. And I found love!

The changes in finance and society have been enormous since the 1950s. The thinking and behavior of the past were bizarre. I lived and worked in the middle of it. I had just enough moral judgment, pragmatism, and luck to beat the odds.

‘Luca Baldi is an illiterate peasant, a scrawny wretch who has a seditious streak and who under normal circumstances would have been hanged or burnt at the stake long ago. However, fate, or God, has seen fit to smile on his miserable existence.’
And not only on Luca Baldi. After their stunning victory over the Romans, the Catalan mercenaries have become kings in the land of the enemy. Luca and his friends are enjoying the spoils of victory and basking in their new-found status.

Old enemies with grievances to settle will target Luca himself and the Catalans will come up against a new foe – the daunting Empress Irene.
Fresh battles beckon for Luca, the Almogavars and the Catalan Company in ‘The Golden Lion’, the third volume in the Catalan Chronicles, the saga of a mercenary band that brought the Byzantine Empire to its knees at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
