What ever happened to Constantine? A historical mystery
Fighting the Ottoman invaders in Constantinople, Emperor
Constantine XI was killed—his body never found. Legend has it that he escaped in a Genoese ship, cheating
certain death at the hands of the Turks and earning himself
the title of Immortal Emperor. Five centuries after his disappearance, three mysterious men
contact a young professor living in Istanbul. Members of a
secret sect, they have guarded the Immortal Emperor's will
for generations. They tell him that he is the next emperor
in line and that in order to take possession of his fortune
he must carry out his ancestor's last wishes. What follows is his journey to the heart of a mystery of
epic historical significance.
