Description
Adriatic Tales: Island at the Edge of War is a story of individual choices set along the fault line between the European powers and the Ottoman Empire.
After a 1571 battle between a Turkish fleet and local defenders in Korcula (in today's Croatia), Damir discovers a young foreign boy who seems to have washed ashore near the teen's village.
Together, he and his friend Iskra must confront prejudices and their own doubts as they, eventually, decide to bring the boy from Korcula to a Turkish envoy in Dubrovnik, all the while pursued by men who want the boy for revenge or ransom.
Together the two -- the son of an olive farmer and the daughter of an innkeeper -- take a journey across exotic landscapes and personal convictions in a story that touches on war, love, and tolerance and tells of individuals willing to challenge conventional biases.
