Even in the darkness of war, there is always a flicker of hope.AD
1068. The Seljuk Sultanate tears at Byzantium's borders. Alp
Arslan's armies grow stronger with every victory, while the
Byzantines forces dwindle, the hope in their hearts guttering its
last. All cry out for a new warrior emperor to lead them to
salvation. This war has been Apion's mistress for many years now.
As Strategos - high general - of the Chaldian border army, he is
driven, shrewd and fearless. When news emerges that a new
soldier-emperor, Romanus Diogenes, is to be crowned, Apion is
summoned to Constantinople to witness the ascension. It is not the
formality he expects. Instead, he is lured into a lethal plot,
where enemies within seek to divert power into the hands of
another. Then reports arrive of a renewed Seljuk assault on the
Byzantine borders. Apion must use all his wits to guide Diogenes
safely onto the throne, and then spirit him to the head of the army
to meet the Seljuk threat... and to give the soldiers back their
hope. The thrilling second novel in the Strategos series, perfect
for fans of Angus Donald and Conn Iggulden.
