The Exarch’s Son
Heraclius of Carthage Battles the False Emperor
“The Exarch’s Son” follows the tale of Heraclius, son of the Exarch of Carthage, born into a humbled Rome seventy years after the fall of the West, and his quest to rescue the Empire from the clutches of the tyrant Emperor Phocas. Young Heraclius sails to Constantinople to confront Phocas, while the most powerful enemies that Rome has ever known - the Avars and resurgent Persians - overrun her borders. And in Arabia's deserts a new dynasty emerges, one that will change the world forever.
