The Philosopher Prince

Home > The Philosopher Prince

In a late-Roman world of ambitious bureaucrats and power-hungry courtiers, two young friends of the British nobility, Drusus and Marcellus, have fallen foul of the emperor's authority. Charged with treason by their nemesis, the emperor's dark and terrifying agent Paulus, they must face the might of the corrupt Roman state.

For Drusus and Marcellus their only ally is the young imperial prince, Julian. But Julian has troubles of his own: his very success has made him hated by his uncle, the emperor.

With spies and adversaries all about them, the two friends link their fates with Julian's. In a life-or-death struggle that takes them from one end of the empire to the other, they set themselves against the forces that are determined to crush them.

The Philosopher Prince is a novel of hope; a story of human values pitted against the cold and calculating machine of an all-powerful tyranny.
