Publisher's Summary
It is AD 312. Rome teeters on the brink of war. Constantine's army is on the move. On the Rhine frontier, Brandulf Rex, a pagan Germanic barbarian, joins the Roman army as a spy and special-forces operative. Down in Rome, Junia Flavia, the lovely and pious daughter of a nominally Christian senator, finds herself embroiled in anti-Christian politics as she works on behalf of the church.
As armies converge and forces beyond Rex's and Flavia's controls threaten to destroy everything they have worked for, these two people from different worlds will have to work together to bring down the evil Emperor Maxentius. But his villainous plans and devious henchmen are not easily overcome. Will the barbarian warrior and the senator's daughter live to see the Empire bow the knee to Christ? Or will their part in the story of Constantine's rise meet an untimely and brutal end?
Travel back to one of the most pivotal eras in history - a time when devotion to the pagan gods was fading and the Roman Empire was being conquered by the sign of the cross.

Loved every bit of this story.
Can't wait to read the next installment. This book reminded me a lot of Francine Rivers' Mark of the Lion trilogy.

Good find in late Roman historical fiction
The author, Bryan Litfin, has an excellent grasp on the historical background he sets the novel in. As an avid history fan the amount of accuracy was greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, despite the hard work of the narrator, there were some points which disappointed. The author could have used a greater variation in description, and provided better imagery in describing many scenes in the book.
Additionally a some of the action scenes, while excellent were factually flawed (when sword fighting you just need to kill or main, not chop the guy's head off! or the fact the arrows do not generally knock people off their feet). However they are immensely enjoyable.
Overall I would recommend this book if you can get it as part of the free audible plus category, and the cliff hanger has made me want read the sequel.
Salvete!
Goodbye and enjoy!
May the grace and peace of Christos Invictus go with you.
