A Day of Tears & Triumph — Sydney Knox

A Day for Tears & Triumph continues the tale of the harrowing adventures of Flavius Crispus, the son of Constantine, Emperor of Rome. It begins with the deadly consequences of a night gone terribly wrong. The year is 311 AD â€" Flavius Crispus has nothing but hard choices before him and no easy path to save his life, or the lives of those he loves. Banished for terrible misdeeds by his father Constantine, who is at war with his brother-in-law Maxentius for control of the Empire, Crispus continues on a personal quest that could save millions of lives - or cost them. While his father and Maxentius each struggle to wrest Rome from the other, Crispus speeds along a path that will take him into the heart of their conflict. But before he can resolve his rift with his father, he must first rescue Julia, Emperor Galerius' whip-smart daughter from the sex slavers who have captured her. While Crispus is chasing Julia, he is also tasked with fulfilling a promise to his grandmother Helena. His decision on which to pursue first, shapes his future in unexpected, dangerous ways. In a mad race across continents and seas, from the Circus Maximus of Rome to Ancient Tarsus and the wilds lands of Persia, Crispus and his friends gain and lose things most precious to them as they hurl across the sands of time and history to reveal the answer to an age-old mystery. Blood Empire: A Day for Tears & Triumph delivers political intrigue and passion in exotic locales as fans have come to expect from the Blood Empire Saga.
