Description
Long before the time of the Frasers, Poldarks or Crawleys, lived the Barics—Mauro and Resi.
Theirs
was not an obvious love story, nor set in a place given a lot of
attention in history. Croatia was a playground for the decadent
Venetians in the lavish baroque era, and Mauro had just reluctantly
inherited his father’s noble title of Baron Baric.
Mauro’s
impending marriage was arranged as a child by his father to settle a
debt. Neither he nor his bride cared if the day ever came when Resi
would be sent to Baric Castle in the Venetian Empire. When the summons
finally arrived in Thessaloniki, it was met with dread. The saga begins
as Resi leaves her Ottoman home to an unknown land to marry a stranger:
Mauro.
Her story—and those of the Barics, their friends,
servants, and soldiers—is told in three parts, spanning a continent
across empires, bringing together a group of unlikely friends and lovers
in the eventful summer of 1649.
