Amber Road

A Novel of Love and Betrayal on the Roman Frontier

AN INDIEBRAG MEDALLION HONOREE

Book 2 of the Roma Amor saga. They call it a road, this rutted track that meanders to the northern sea where amber is found. To ex-tribune Marcus Carinna, it’s a leap from Rome’s frontier into a wilderness of hostile barbarians, beasts, and spirits.

Yet the Amber Road is the trail he must follow to find Aurima, the Germanic priestess who may help him restore his blackened honor—if he can escape her malevolent father and the imperial agents pursuing him.

Teenage boys driving too fast is nothing new. (Too bad Roman teens didn't have airbags.)

A Roma Amor prequel tentatively named Fortuna's Wheel is now in the works.

In this pre-Aurima novella, young Marcus Carinna is wild about chariot racing, bribing his way onto the practice tracks of Rome's racing clubs. His parents and his tutor Phormio thoroughly disapprove of this risky pastime. However, that doesn't stop a 16-year-old boy determined to out-daredevil his friends -- until a crash brings him to the attention of the sinister Praetorian Prefect, Sejanus, who fears Marcus has learned something that threatens his ambition to rule Rome.
