Aprašymas
"The unforgettable story of Constantine the Great's rise to power. With an elegant turn of phrase and a visceral understanding of what makes history worth reading, O'Bryan has given readers a Constantine that is incredibly real," Historical Fiction Book Club.
Constantine, the son of an emperor, frees a slave named Juliana. She is half Persian and half Roman. As they are pursued to Britannia by his father's enemies over land and sea, he learns that she can see the future - his future.
Set before Constantine converted to Christianity and became the first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, he will have to survive many threats and eliminate enemies intent on killing him. But who must die first? The priestess, Sybellina, who practices dark and seductive magic? Or the brutal legion commanders who surround his father, the Emperor of the West? Or, as Juliana suspects, are those who want him dead even closer?A compelling historical novel about one man's rise to power, the woman who helped him, and the real reason he supported a persecuted Christian minority.
Do not miss this provocative and powerful story, showing how rules and morals can be bent if others want you dead.
"★★★★★ This is without doubt one of the best historical novels I have read (and I read a lot !) Excellent characterisation, gripping story, very well written." Verified Amazon Reviewer.
"★★★★★ I would recommend this book to anyone who has a liking for stories of the Roman Empire" D. Ballantyne, Verified Amazon Reviewer.
"★★★★★ Brilliant book, that pulled me right in from the start. The characters are wonderful, full of life. I was swept up in this tale about Constantine." Verified Amazon Reviewer.
"★★★★★ I have read many books and studied history for decades. This historical novel is comparable to the best such as Dear and a Glorious Physician by Taylor Caldwell." Augustine Redux, Amazon Reviewer.
