Product Description
For twenty years civil war has torn the Empire apart; the Imperial line extinguished as the mad Emperor Quintus burned in his palace, betrayed by his greatest general. Against a background of war, decay, poverty and violence, men who once served in the proud Imperial army now fight as mercenaries, hiring themselves to the greediest lords.
On a hopeless battlefield that same general, now a mercenary captain tortured by the events of his past, stumbles across hope in the form of a young man begging for help. Kiva is forced to face more than his dark past as he struggles to put his life and the very Empire back together. The last scion of the Imperial line will change Kiva forever.

From the Author
After having written a Roman historical novel which, though I enjoyed and I feel is a good work, relied necessarily on sticking closely within historical guidelines. After this I felt the need to be more creative. I needed to be able to create the whole world for Interregnum, while keeping it familiar and grounded. People have asked me exactly what period of Rome it is set in, so the familiarity has worked. I also felt the need to create fantasy that contains no monsters or magic, but relies on plot and characters. I hope you like it.
