Synopsis:
"Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the
glory that is Rome has been torn in two. Octavian, Caesar's ambitious
great-nephew and adopted son, vies with Marc Antony and Cleopatra for
control of Caesar's legacy. As civil war rages from Rome to Alexandria,
and vast armies and navies battle for supremacy, a secret conflict may
shape the course of history.
Juba, Numidian prince and adopted
brother of Octavian, has embarked on a ruthless quest for the Shards of
Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of the gods-or the
one God. Driven by vengeance, Juba has already attained the fabled
Trident of Poseidon, which may also be the staff once wielded by Moses.
Now he will stop at nothing to obtain the other Shards, even if it means
burning the entire world to the ground.
Caught up in these cataclysmic events, and the hunt for the Shards, are a pair of exiled Roman legionnaires, a Greek librarian of uncertain loyalties, assassins, spies, slaves . . . and the ten-year-old daughter of Cleopatra herself."
