Venice's Choice

About This Novel
There is Greek specialty wine that exudes the scent of pine, and roasted chicken with pearls served on a silver plate decorated with the Medici family coat of arms. There are also studios of artists in the center of Florence in the 16th century, major banks all over Europe, and a dazzling array of shops filled with foreign goods. You will pass by plainly dressed civilian women cooking Egyptian bean soup in a large pot, and you will also have a heated discussion about Machiavelli's prophecies with nobles wearing fine satin and lace. Not only that, the love drama between a handsome man and an elegant geisha, the power struggle between ambitious young people, and the complex relationships between the great powers at that time are all presented in this "Renaissance Novel" series. In the 16th century AD, Marco, a young diplomat of the Republic of Venice, received a secret order asking him to save his homeland from the attack of Spain, which attempted to dominate Europe, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which dominated the entire Islamic world. Elvis, a close friend who knew Turkey well and was deeply involved with the court, was supposed to be Marco's help. However, the fate of the world was turned upside down by the dark light shining in his eyes. Elvis commanded the armies of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in battle, and was canonized as Governor of Hungary by Sultan Suleiman I. But then the Ottoman Turkish army was unwilling to obey this commander who was not an Ottoman Turk or a Muslim. Elvis was later beheaded by two farmers. The "Committee of Ten" in Venice also discovered Olympia's true identity as a spy for Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, and Marco was suspended.
