Romanitas

In a parallel modern world, the Roman Empire stretches from India in the East to the Great Wall of Terranova in the West. A runaway slave girl with a strange gift sets out to rescue her brother and seize her freedom, while the young heir to the Imperial throne discovers a plot against his life. For all three, the only way to survive may shake the Empire to its roots.A fast-moving, compelling story, brilliantly imagined - CONN IGGULDEN[A] hugely imaginative debut - DAILY MIRRORA thoroughly good read ... vividly imagined ... elegant, lively writing - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
