Dorothy Dunnett's House of Niccolò series follows Nicholas de Fleury, born Claes, as he rises from an apparently insignificant position in fifteenth-century Bruges into international trade, finance and political influence. Niccolò Rising begins the eight-book sequence, followed by The Spring of the Ram, Race of Scorpions, Scales of Gold and the later novels through Gemini. The books should be read in order because business schemes, rivalries and family revelations accumulate across the series. Dunnett combines historical fiction with commerce, diplomacy, travel and intellectual puzzles, moving through Europe, the Mediterranean and Africa while keeping Nicholas's motives deliberately difficult to read.
