Usurpers by Q V Hunter
In this second volume of the Embers of Empires series, Roman intelligence agent Marcus must escape the court of Emperor Constans when he uncovers the humiliating secret of the young ruler's vice-ridden entourage. His flight pitches him into a more dangerous assignment-to investigate a military conspiracy to usurp Constans' throne. Worse, this mission means spying on the very man whose trust Marcus craves more than anything. Moving from the Late Roman imperial courts to Mursa, the bloodiest battleground of fourth century Europe, the ex-slave must outwit Gallo-Roman rebels, vicious imperial siblings and ruthless espionage rivals--all of them embers of an empire blindly smoldering toward extinction. Packed with action and intrigue, Usurpers is sure to delight fans of Steven Saylor, Robert Harris and Bernard Cornwell.
Q.V. Hunter is the author of twelve novels, including six Embers of Empire stories of espionage in the Roman Empire of the fourth century, the most recent published in February, 2016. Hunter lives in a Jurassien village which was once a lookout point for Roman soldiers posted to Julius Caesar's colony Noviodunum. They were assigned the resettlement and administration of Celtic Helvetic 'barbarians' defeated in the Battle of Bibracte in 58 BC. Hunter is married to a descendant of Alemanni refugees of the Roman Empire and they have three adult children.
