| Notes: | Niccolo travels to Africa for gold and self-peace. He finds both, has a series of impractical adventures and falls in love with Gelis, sister of Katherine, his dead lover and mother of his son. Back in Europe, his business flourishing, he married Gelis. On his wedding night he discovers his best friend, Loppe, is dead and Gelis is pregnant by his father, Simon, to get revenge for what she thinks Niccolo did to Katherine. The ending was so manipulative, that I decided not to read the rest of the series. |
