Book Description

This is the third novel of the trilogy which charts Constantine the Great’s rise to power as seen through the eyes of Titus, now a senior general. Titus is appointed as admiral of the western fleet but he is faced with corruption and political intrigue in the Senate. With the aid of his wife, Flavia, he defeats his opponents and builds a powerful navy for the coming second, and final, war between the two halves of the Roman Empire.

After overcoming a revolt by the Alemanni on the Rhine frontier, Crispus, the young Caesar of Gaul and Constantine’s eldest son, sets sail with Titus to face the much more powerful eastern fleet at the fateful Battle of the Hellespont.

With the empire united at last, war with the Persian Empire threatens and Titus and Flavia are sent to Armenia to assess the situation. When Flavia and their son are kidnapped, Titus heads for Ctesiphon to agree a treaty with the Shahanshah of Persia. Flavia and her son escape in the meantime and are pursued through northern Persia until eventually they are rescued by Titus.

Fausta, Constantine’s second wife, has made several attempts to assassinate Crispus to pave the way for her own sons to succeed Constantine. Now she hatches a plot to implicate Crispus, who is unjustly executed, and Titus and Flavia vow revenge on all involved.
