As the Western Roman Empire is fractured by barbarian invasion, ambitious rivals battle for control of Britannia in this sweeping historical novel.
Britain, 405 AD. As they push through the continent, the barbarian hordes have all but separated Britannia from Rome. As treasurer of the region, Felix struggles to maintain Roman supremacy at a time when every penny is needed to fight the invading barbarians. Having served at the Imperial Court itself, he has always been loyal to the central power. But around him, dissent is quietly brewing.
Preoccupied with status and finances, Felix barely notices that his wily father-in-law is engineering a coup—one which forces Felix to flee for his life. As “little emperors” spring up across the British Isles, ready to rule in Caesar’s stead, everyone must choose sides in a deadly game of power.
