"A finely nuanced historical...with a plot of great
subtlety....Those who appreciate strong historical backgrounds and
solid plotting will get their money's worth." -Publishers Weekly
"Stocking their novels with period arcana, palace intrigue and more
than a few curious complications...Reed and Mayer have created a
distinctive historical series that has yet to disappoint." â
-January Magazine It's 539 AD, and John the Lord Chamberlain finds
his investigations hampered by squabbling courtiers, servants with
social ambitions, an eccentric host, and an egotistic inventor-not
to mention a herd of prophesying goats and a protective whale. The
Mithran Anatolius and the excubitor captain Felix only add to
John's worries when they fall under the spell of two ambitious
women. Can the trio avoid Theodora's wrath as they work to protect
a child and stop a heartless killer? Does the solution lie within
the villa where all have assembled, back in Constantinople, or in
some other world altogether? The acclaimed historical series
featuring John, Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor Justinian, has
brought husband and wife team Mary Reed and Eric Mayer much praise
and several awards. In 2003, Booklist Magazine named the novels one
of its four Best Little Known Series.
