Scions of Smyrna

Sebastian Krizomatis's adventures continue in the bustling port of Smyrna, Turkey, the greatest center of commerce in the 18th century's Ottoman empire.

In the quest to find his father, Seba solicits the assistance of the most prominent and powerful silk merchant in Smyrna, the demanding Stavros Alkeidis. As Seba attempts to navigate the complexities of the cosmopolitan city in this westernmost point of the Silk Road trade route, his horizons are broadened by firebrand taverna owner, Meleia Kokokis, and masterful medical doctor, Despina Marguerite Robin. These relationships inspire Seba to step into his power as he follows the bread crumbs leading to his father.

Before Seba can find his feet in this new environment, however, British Dr. Andrew Turnbull's arrival in port disrupts the city's merchants, as he solicits their workers to leave Smyrna for his new venture in East Florida. Turnbull's presence jeopardizes Stavros Alkeidis's control over his employees, threatens Governor Paşa's authority, and delays Seba's search for his father in the process. Amidst the turmoil, Seba must enlist the help of the scions of Smyrna to locate his father and reclaim his legacy.
