About the Book
In the middle of the eighth century the decaying city of
Rome lies defenseless against the advance of the war-mongering
Lombards. The new Pope, Stephen II, appeals for
help from the Eastern Emperor, but none arrives. In desperation
the Pope’s younger brother and a visiting nun risk
their own souls to change the course of history.
Based on real people and actual events, this is a tale of
intrigue, illicit passion, war, and the struggle for control of
medieval Europe.
