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.
