About This Book

After the capture of the Gothic king, Roman commanders consolidate control of the city while prisoners are confined and political maneuvers intensify. A prefect exploits the victory to advance personal designs, using the captive monarch and the royal sword to secure favors and influence the queen and princess. Belisarius and his officers confront mutiny, uncertain imperial reinforcement, and the unexpected arrival of an imperial prince whose presence reshapes plans. Military pursuit of fleeing leaders continues, courts and crowds mark victories, and alliances of duty, ambition, and revenge drive unfolding power struggles as occupation, intrigue, and personal loyalties determine the region's unstable future.
