Gemini - first US edition

by Dorothy Dunnet - signed

Eighth and final novel in the 'House of Niccolo' series. Nicholas returns to Scotland to settle old debts and call in old markers. The twenty-three page synopsis of the previous books along with a twelve-page list of characters will help you anchor yourself in the plot line, while Dorothy Dunnett vividly paints pictures of life in the world of the fifteenth century, as Nicholas comes full circle.

Scotland, 1477. As Nicholas de Fleury and his clever wife Gelis move between the countries where his bank has made its mark (Burgundy, Flanders, Germany, France, and England), he finally unlocks the door to his past--but not before his physical strength, his willpower, and his humanity have been tested to the breaking point by royalty, the gentry, the clergy, and his own family. A dazzling conclusion to this vivid re-creation of the early Renaissance.
