The year is 271 AD. What remains of the Roman Empire is shrinking by the day as the armies of the self-styled Queen of the East gobble up Asia Minor. Emboldened by success, she suspends the sale of grain from Aegypt to Italia, threatening to starve the Eternal City into submission.
It will take a man with iron in his veins to set things right and accomplish the impossible.
From a humble upbringing, a boy emerges who is destined to change history.
This is the story of Lucius Domitius Aurelianus.
Part XVI: Palmyrenian
Aurelian has defeated more foes than he cares to remember, but still the Empire remains divided. Having cowered the enemies within, he shifts his gaze to the East, to where Queen Zenobia is expanding her realm to the detriment of Rome.
Assembling his battered forces, the emperor marches to war, intent on returning the Eastern Provinces to the fold. But Rome has many enemies, and there are even more who wish to see the end of Eochar the Merciless. Long before they reach their destination, Lucius and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives. Soon it is not a question of whether Palmyra can be defeated, but rather, if enough of Aurelian’s army will survive to continue the campaign.
But the enemies of Eochar forget that he is a warrior who walks in the shadow of Arash the Destroyer, and that the lord of the field of blood has the power to turn defeat into victory.
