Opis

'In the name of Juno, the guardian of Rome, I invest in you the power to protect, to do what is necessary, to defend our ancestral eternal city. Arise, Protector of Rome.'

Titus has everything he wants: a province of his own, a beautiful wife, and temporary respite from his demons.

But he is far from home. And when a message arrives, calling him back to his birth city, the Eternal City-Rome, he is unable to refuse the Consul, Marcus Albus, a man who was once a friend and Commander.

But the city is not as he remembered it and dark forces conspire within its very walls. Titus will have to choose: remain loyal to the city he loved? Or oppose the decadent totalitarian state that created him?

Taking the action from the far away shores of Britannia, all the way to the bright, corrupted, heart of the Roman Empire itself, 'Impietas' is a page-turning thriller, packed with intrigue, conspiracy, and betrayal.

This character-driven novel explores the dark depths of Rome itself - a Rome which extends as far into the sky as it does underground - a city as beautiful as it is depraved.

The sequel to 2012's 'Sacramentum', and book two in the 'Decline and Fall' trilogy."
