The Cursed City

The Cursed City

The Cursed City

21/06/2022 by Laurence OBryan

Constantine has been in power for twenty years. Juliana faces his enemies.

Christianity is on the rise in Rome and peace has finally come to the empire, but many are unhappy with the changes and his family is in turmoil.

His wife, Fausta, is expecting a child, but she is looking for ways to end the pregnancy. His son, Crispus, is waiting for the date when his father will abdicate. A feast held in Rome to celebrate Constantine’s arrival there ends with a poisoning, and then the priestess, Paulina, who is in charge of creating the first St. Peter’s, is kidnapped.

Constantine heads for New Rome. His mother, Helena, is in Jerusalem. She has found what could be the True Cross. A ceremony to dedicate New Rome, the city that later becomes Constantinople, would be the ideal moment to unveil it.

Where is Juliana? What happens next will shock you.

Fausta, the empress, is scheming to stop Juliana, now the head of emperor’s Saxon bodyguard, from taking everything from her and her family.

This last full novel in an epic series continues the story of the first Christian emperor in an unexpected way. Do not miss it.
