Diary of A Fallen Empire by Wilhelm Porterfield

1453. The heart of the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans are at the gates of Constantinople, poised to raze the last remains of the Roman Empire. For historians, this was a watershed moment that marked a turning point in warfare and military combat. But for Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos, this was the hour of his greatest tragedy.

However, this is not the tale history knows. This is not the story of doomed Constantine. Turn the pages of Diary of a Fallen Empire and read about how Constantina, the Emperor's twin sister, is carving her place in this theater of war. Follow Constantina's perilous journey of espionage, betrayal, struggle, and love as she infiltrates enemy lines in a desperate bid to negotiate peace and prevent all-out war. Will her plan succeed? Will the fires of war blaze nonetheless? Or will Constantina instigate a third choice?
