The Byzantine Saga: An Omnibus
By Richard Blake
Meet Rodi of Aquileia: Byzantium’s youngest spy. Over four thrilling novels set in the early seventh century AD, this scrappy and ingenious teenager goes from slave on death row to the empire’s top secret agent.
From the plague-ridden streets of Rome to the frigid passes of the Alps, Rodi must solve a series of grisly crimes while real-world historical events play out around him.
Rich in period detail, this series is perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwall and Conn Iggulden.
