Welcome...

... to the website of author Nickolas Hight. Nickolas writes historical fiction set in the 14th century. William Manchester called it, "a world lit only by fire." Barbara Tuchman was a bit more pithy when she described it as, "calamitous." It's hard to argue with either of those esteemed writers. Suffice to say, it was a rough time to be alive, though the same could be said for any century.

VENDETTA takes place in 1377 and as its title suggests, it is a tale of revenge. It is also an attempt to bring to life the complicated, tempestuous relationship of Bernabò Visconti and Sir John Hawkwood, two complex, formidable, and larger-than-life figures of the era.
