A Novel about a World in Transition
Centurio
Plot summary By AD486 the Western Roman Empire had shrunk to Roman Gaul, itself on the eve of invasion by the Franks under the leadership of their dynamic young king, Chlodovech.
As the warclouds gather, a young girl, Aemilia, travels, after the death of her Frankish mother, to Soissons, capital of Roman Gaul, to stay with her Roman father whom she has never seen. She knows only that his name is Tarunculus and that he is a former centurion. She finds an old man, fixed on the past, determined to save the last provinces of Rome.
Made a convert to his patriotism, she is caught up in the intrigues of the Roman nobility, desperate to save themselves, and begins to realise that the dividing line between duty and betrayal may not lie between Roman and barbarian. The profound upheaval in her life is mirrored by dramatic change in the world around her, as the old Roman order crumbles and the foundations of Christendom are laid.
