The first in a sharply-written trilogy set in crumbling 7th Century Rome.
THE ROMAN EMPIRE IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE CHURCH OF ROME!
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 stolen. Forcibly separated from the woman he loves, 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.
Introducing the most compelling anti-hero since Flashman, CONSPIRACIES OF ROME takes you back to one of the darkest and least known periods of history.
