Description
In the alternative history of HEIRS TO BYZANTIUM, Antony and Cleopatra defeated Octavian at Actium and went on to establish a mighty Empire with its capital the fabled Byzantium. For almost 1,000 years their descendants have ruled as Emperors and Pharaohs... After the death of his father it is imperial Prince Marric who should rule in Byzantium with his sister Alexa. But in Marric’s absence, his stepmother Irene has seized power. Summoned secretly by Alexa, Marric returns to fight for their crown. Instead he ends up fighting for his life and sould. Captured by Irene, believing Alexa dead, Marric is tempted by the Consort’s magic powers, then sold into slavery. As the Empire is devoured from within by evil and attacked from without by its former allies, Marric learns to endure slavery and through the love of the seeress Stephana, to come to terms with his destiny. He also learns that for the first time in centuries, the Empire needs a ruler who can control more than mortal powers....
