Synopsis
The Roman Empire is dead—long live the church of Rome! A new series of historical thrillers introduces the most compelling anti-hero since Flashman 609 AD. Rome is torn apart by war, plague, and internal power struggles between the emperor, the aristocracy, and the church. Into this morass stumbles the young and handsome Briton Aelric. His father was murdered, his inheritance was stolen, and he was forcibly separated from the woman he loves—now he is determined to win back all that he has lost. Through his naivety and ambition, he unwittingly becomes involved in a heretical plot that will lead to fraud, high treason, and murder. The first in a searingly sharp trilogy, this adventure takes readers back to one of the darkest and least known periods of history.

Review
'I can't resist recommending this first volume of a promised trilogy. Set during the last pangs of Imperial Rome, with a vivid account of the machinations of the early Church, it is well-informed, atmospheric and beautifully written.' -- Literary Review 'In a rollicking new historical adventure series, the hero Aelric is a sort of randier version of Sharpe with an eye for the girls and a taste for the odd vat of wine ... this is rip-roaring historical fiction which avoids taking itself too seriously. Great fun.' -- Western Daily Press 'The best historical novel I have ever read' -- L. Neil Smith 'An enjoyable read' -- Historical Novel Society 'Fascinating to read, very well written, an intriguing plot and I enjoyed it very much.' -- Derek Jacobi
