Roman intelligence agent Numidianus' secret assignment, to spy on
the Caesar Gallus and his vicious consort Constantia, tosses him
into the court of Antioch's cesspool of corruption and violence.
Should he risk his career by betraying the unstable Gallus to his
cousin, the Emperor Constantius II, or play it safe and let the
Eastern Empire fester? More urgently, can he rescue his own son Leo
from mutilation into a eunuch by the powerful Lord Chamberlain
Eusebius? A thrilling espionage adventure set in the fourth-century
Roman Empire, The Back Gate to Hell pits Marcus against the warring
heirs to the Constantine dynasty and the eunuchs who rule them--all
of them embers of a empire blindly smoldering towards extinction.
Packed with action and intrigue, the Embers of Empire series will
delight fans of Bernard Cornwell, Steven Saylor, and Robert Harris.
