Publisher's description:

The Ottoman Army - the powerful the world had known by that time - lays siege to a Christian fortress in the mountains of Albania. Above the colourful host looms the great dark wall of the citadel that has to be overcome. This is a narrative of a bloody, complex struggle that ends in defeat and desolation for both sides.
