Dispirited by a plague that killed his wife and daughters, Crispin soon finds himself accepting a commission meant for another man that will take him to ByzantiumSarantium, as well as being given a secret mission by the imperilled queen of Batiaria meant only for the ears of Emperor Valerius II. Crispin's adventures overland will involve gods, armies, an incredible array of potential Femme Fatales, and lots of chariot-racing. The duology is based on the history of the reign of the great Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and his wife Theodora.
