609 AD. Rome is torn apart by war, plague and internal power struggles between the Emperor, the aristocracy and the Church. Into this morass stumbles the young and handsome Aelric. His father was murdered, his inheritance stolen. Forcibly separated from the woman he loves, he is determined to win back all that he has lost. Through his naivety and ambition, he unwittingly becomes involved in a heretical plot that will lead to fraud, murder and high treason. Introducing the most compelling anti-hero since Flashman, Conspiracies of Rome is the first in a searingly sharp trilogy that takes you to one of the darkest and most dramatic periods of history.

Fascinating to read, very well written, an intriguing plot and I enjoyed it very much. (Derek Jacobi star of I, Claudius and Gladiator)
The best historical novel I have ever read. (L. Neil Smith)
I can't resist recommending this first volume of a promised trilogy. Set during the last pangs of Imperial Rome, with a vivid account of the machinations of the early Church, it is well-informed, atmospheric and beautifully written. (Literary Review)
An enjoyable read. (Historical Novel Society )
The first in a sharply-written trilogy set in crumbling 7th Century Rome which introduces the most compelling anti-hero since Flashman.
