Marcus wagers that a deadly spy mission will earn him freedom from slavery, but he hasn’t bargained on betrayal by the man he respects most in the world.
A thrilling espionage adventure set in the fourth-century Roman Empire, "A Veiled Assassin" takes us to a broiling Numidian desert suffering from military occupation, sabotaged oil exports, and fanatical terrorists.
"The Veiled Assassin" is the first in a series that pits Marcus against religious suicide martyrs, Gallo-Roman army rebels as well as the corrupt imperial eunuchs ruling the East—all of them embers of a world blindly smoldering toward its extinction.
Rich with action and intrigue, the Embers of Empire will delight fans of Bernard Cornwell, Steven Saylor and Robert Harris.
