    She was the wife of an Emperor. She was the daughter of an Emperor. She had wealth and power beyond compare. Everything should have been easy for her. But she lived during the tumultuous final years of the Roman Empire when violence and upheaval threatened at every turn. The Shadows of Nemesis tells the epic tale of Licinia Eudocia. Based on the real-life, historic figure and actual events, it relates the story of her heroic struggle against tyrants, traitors, barbarians, and kings. A naïve girl of sixteen when she wed Emperor Valentinian III, Licinia found herself part of a dangerous family whose sinister motives endangered her husband and threatened his power. In her effort to save him, she became the target of a vengeful sister-in-law, a scheming mother-in-law, and the vilest servant the world has ever seen. Over the course of her seventeen years on the throne, she prevailed against a barbarian onslaught, stood up to a merciless usurper, and went toe-to-toe with Atilla the Hun. Hers is a remarkable story of trial and commitment, aided at every turn by a mysterious amulet whose power and meaning lie just beyond her reach. The Shadows of Nemesis is a saga of romance...violence...intrigue...betrayal...and the limitless possibilities of redemption.

    Discovering the truth about your mother’s sordid past can be troubling.  If you’re the new Emperor of Rome, it can be downright terrifying. Rome’s ruling Augusta is rumored to be weak.  It is said that she is under the thumb of her powerful master of soldiers, Aetius.   But few know the real Galla Placidia, a cunning and ruthless adversary capable of holding together a crumbling Empire long enough to hand it off to her son.Placidius is on his way to Constantinople where he will emerge from behind his mother’s twelve-year regency to assume his full power as emperor.  En route, he comes into possession of a letter allegedly written by her.  It lays out the incredible true story of her life, from her kidnapping by a barbarian king, through the scandal that drove her into exile, to her tempestuous romance with a dashing yet power-hungry rogue whose presence has complicated both their lives.Now Galla Placidia wants to prepare her son for the trials ahead, but Placidius is suspicious.  Is the letter real, or is someone trying to manipulate him?  Only time will tell, and, as they draw closer to Constantinople, murder and treachery ensue.  Is his mother the woman he thinks she is, or is she someone else altogether?
