About This Book

For centuries children of the West have been taught that sometime in the 5th century Rome "fell" and with it, the world fell into the Dark Ages. This is only partially true. The Western Roman Empire did fade but in the East, in the old city of Byzantium on the Bosporus, the Romans would survive for a thousand years longer. 
 
Half a century after the Western Roman Empire was toppled by the Goth warlord Odoacer, a new Caesar ascends to the throne in Byzantium. This man, the Emperor Justinian, refuses to accept that Rome's best days have passed. With the help of his extraordinary young General Belisarius, Justinian will attempt the impossible - to expel the barbarians from Rome's Lost Lands and to restore the Empire to its former glory. Join them on their stunning adventure in the LEGEND OF AFRICANUS trilogy. 
 
FROM AFRICANUS is the first novel in the Legend of Africanus series. In From Africanus, the upstart Caesar, Justinian I, fights to defend his throne as the Nika Riots erupts in Constantinople, plunging the Empire into chaos. Justinian turns to his General Belisarius to pull Rome back from the precipice, and to prevent the darkness that has already engulfed the West from sweeping away the Eastern Empire.
