Starlight On Stone NORTH (ebook)

Failing to blunt barbarian invasions, a jaded emperor sends his favorite slave, the Once Valiant prince Attili on a mission of peace and capitulation. But the prince and his savage friend, Shargo the Strong, face desperate refugees, traitorous assassins and fierce African armies. Attili also must struggle with his own failing resolve, with an increasing childish wish for a different destiny. The inevitable clash leads to a dark age, a mythology which haunts the world today. It left us a delusional, self-fulfilling legacy, an ever seductive flirtation with mass suicide.
