Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Scales of Gold by Dorothy Dunnett, read by John Banks.

The year 1464 finds our hero Nicholas in Venice. Plagued by enemies bent on dissolving his assets and smearing his character, he sets sail for Africa, legendary location of the Fountain of Youth and the source of gold in such abundance that men prefer to barter in shells. He will discover the charms of the beautiful Gelis - a woman whose passion for Nicholas is rivalled only by her desire to punish him for his role in her sister''s death. Erotic and lush with detail, SCALES OF GOLD embraces the complexity of the Renaissance, where mercantile adventure couples with more personal quests behind the silkeb curtains of the Age of Discovery.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dorothy Dunnett

Dorothy Dunnett foi considerada por muitos a melhor autora de ficção histórica do seu tempo, reconhecida internacionalmente por aliar factos históricos e imaginação. Ganhou fama sobretudo com as séries As Crónicas de Lymond e The House of Niccolo – passadas na Europa e no Mediterrâneo dos séculos XV e XVI – e com o romance histórico King Hereafter.
Em 1992, Dorothy Dunnett recebeu o prémio OBE pelo serviço prestado à literatura, e, em 2014, Francis Crawford de Lymond, o seu protagonista mais duradouro, foi votado o personagem histórico favorito dos Escoceses – ultrapassando figuras como Sherlock Holmes e Harry Potter.
A autora fundou a Dorothy Dunnett Society, com o objetivo de promover o estudo das épocas sobre as quais escrevia e de incentivar à conservação e leitura das suas obras.
