The Shadows of Nemesis: A Story of the Fall of Rome

She was the wife of an Emperor. She was the daughter of an Emperor. She had wealth and power beyond compare. Everything should have been easy for her. But she lived during the tumultuous final years of the Roman Empire when violence and upheaval threatened at every turn.

The Shadows of Nemesis tells the epic tale of Licinia Eudocia and her heroic struggle against tyrants, traitors, barbarians, and kings.

A naïve girl of sixteen when she wed Emperor Valentinian III, Licinia joined a scheming family whose sinister motives endangered her husband and threatened his power. In her effort to save him, she became the target of a vengeful sister-in-law, a scheming mother-in-law, and the vilest servant the world has ever known.

Over the course of her seventeen years in power, she prevailed against a barbarian onslaught, stood up to a merciless usurper, and went toe-to-toe with Attila the Hun. Hers is a remarkable story of courage and resilience, aided at every turn by a mysterious amulet whose power and meaning lie just beyond her reach.

The Shadows of Nemesis is a saga of romance…violence…intrigue…betrayal…and the limitless possibilities of redemption.
