Synopsis
BRITON NOBLE, AMBROSIUS AURELIANUS, UNITES THE PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION TO INVADERS
Britannia lies open to barbarian invasions as it slowly adjusts to life after Roman rule. Cruel high king Vortigern has seized control and chosen to employ Saxons in his mercenary army. But who is the master and who the puppet?
Enter Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Roman tribune on a secret mission to Britannia. He is returning to the land where, as a child, he witnessed the murder of his noble father and grew up under the watchful eyes of an adoptive family in the town of Calleva Atrebatum. He is thrown into the politics of the time, as tribal chiefs eye each other with suspicion whilst kept at heel by the high king.
Ambrosius finds that the influence of Rome is fast becoming a distant memory, as Britannia reverts to its Celtic tribal roots. He joins forces with his adoptive brother, Uther Pendragon, and they are guided by their shrewd father, Marcus, as he senses his destiny is to lead the Britons to a more secure future.
Ambrosius: Last of the Romans is an historical fiction novel set in the early Dark Ages, a time of myths and legends that builds to the greatest legend of all – King Arthur and his knights.
Ambrosius: Last of the Romans is book two in A Light in the Dark Ages series, and follows on from book one, Abandoned. It is followed by Uther's Destiny; Arthur Dux Bellorum and Arthur Rex Brittonum. Together, the series portrays a vision of imagined political manoeuvres in post-Roman Britain.
