Bloodtide

In Bloodtide , the second installment in the genre-bending Ex Romana trilogy, the fate of the empire hangs in the balance. This speculative imagining of a world where Rome never fell is perfect for readers of Saara El-Arifi and C. L. Clark. In the wake of startling revelation and personal betrayal, Tair sets out to unite the city of Luxana behind the Iveroa Stone as Selah, up in the Imperial Archives, tries to make sense of her family's complicity in the Imperium's shadowed beginnings. Meanwhile, Darius faces exile in the far-flung reaches of Roma Sargassa's badlands, while Arran and Theo undertake a mission for the Revenants to revive the old world's communications grid. But long-laid plans and careful manoeuvring are nothing compared to the forces of nature, and Sargassa's future might just be determined by the coming storm.
