Résumé

With the fall of Carthage, Manae takes up Rome's offer to serve as a rower on the quinquereme 'Avis'. After ten years at the oars he is free to quit the ship and sets out to find the only surviving member of the family lost to him during the savage slaughter of the city. So begins a journey that cruelly educates the young Manae into the devious snares and deceptions of Rome's Hispania. Beaten, robbed and imprisoned he escapes to find murder and rape is his only companion as he flees.
Not until he meets the beautiful Livia, daughter of a Roman officer, do things begin to change for Manae. But Hispania is facing a bloody uprising against the invasive Legions of Rome and the rebellious Celtic tribes are rampaging through the countryside. Manae and Livia must make their way to safety on a perilous journey that leads the Carthaginian into a confrontation with the sins of his past and places his most treasured possessions at risk.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Tony Masero

It's not such a big step from pictures to writing. And that's how it started out for me. I've illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books. A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.
As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content. Having such a visual background, mostly it's a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that's why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a 'Western movie, fast paced and full of action.'I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
