Gate Of Fire Epub Download by Thomas Harlan
This sequel to THE SHADOW OF ARARAT is the second e-book in the Oath of Empire collection, set in an alternate Roman Empire circa A.D. 623. Prince Maxian, youthful brother to Galen, Emperor of the Western Empire (Rome), and Heraclius, Emperor of the Jap Empire (Constantinople), has returned to Rome to disrupt the magical power of the centuries-outdated oath of allegiance to the Emperor that all legionnaires take. Maxian believes the oath constrains citizens to a slender path, stifling creativity as well as any considered disobedience, and he intends to make use of all his sorcerous power--and the assistance of Alexander the Nice and Gaius Julius Caesar, whom he has raised from the dead--to succeed. The Empire, in the meantime, is threatened by multiple enemies: The insane Persian necromancer Dahak is set to lift a military by any means to regain the Peacock Throne toppled by the Empire. Zoë, niece of Palmyra's Queen Zenobia, and her ragged but decided followers plot revenge on Rome for allowing the Persians to sack and destroy their beloved city. And within the deserts of Iraq, a man named Mohammed is pushed by a prophetic imaginative and prescient to build a military towards the Empire. Harlan's attention to element is spectacular, at times overwhelming, as he fills the broad canvas of his hypothetical Roman Empire. Readers with the stamina to comply with each thread of the multitudinous plot lines right here will find a vigorously imagined, thought-upsetting story.
As Prince Maxian attempts desperate measures to free Rome from a strong curse, his brother Galen, emperor of the Western Roman Empire, returns from the conflict with Persia to a hassle-filled city. Within the East, a service provider prince referred to as Mohammed answers a divine name and gathers followers to his holy cause, whereas a sorcerer traffics in dark magics in pursuit of earthly power. Harlan's sequel to The Shadow of Ararat continues an epic tale of alternate historical past set in a seventh-century setting where the dual Empires of Rome rule the identified world by way of might and magic. Robust storytelling and sophisticated characters make this historic fantasy a sensible choice for most libraries.
