The youngster was determined to present a calm demeanour when within he was seething with a desire for bloody revenge ...Sixth century Byzantium. Corruption is rife and the empire is in turmoil when Flavius Belisarius is expected to join his father's cohort to help protect the border of the Eastern Empire. Flavius's father Decimus is the Governor of Dorostorum city, and has two goals: to keep out the Sklaveni barbarians across the Danube and to expose the deep roots of corruption. Seeking to prevent a barbarian raid, Decimus asks the powerful Senuthius Vicinus for help. But treachery leads to death in the Belisarius family and Decimus's reputation is damaged. With his life changed forever, Flavius swears vengeance on the man that betrayed his father and begins a journey from which there is no way back.

Media Reviews
'Set in the sixth century,Flavius Belisarius is the 15-year-old son of centurion Decimus Belisarius, the governor of the city of Dorostorum. But when his father and three brothers are killed, Flavius discovers that they were betrayed. He flees the city with Ohannes, his father's trusted servant, and begins a journey that takes him into enemy territory, the Roman army, and the great city of Constantinople. A fast-paced novel to introduce the trilogy, this book covers Flavius' early life, and further volumes will no doubt see him mature and grow, which, upon reading this first book, is a mouth-watering prospect' Aberdeen Press and Journal
