Agent of the Empire

By AJ Cooper

Julia, the emperor's daughter, has now been missing for many months.
But as the Red Hand cult takes root across Imperial City, more dangers arise and new threats present themselves. Publius Corvus, soldier of the Empire, can only linger a little while until he marches north to fight Eioli.
War, death, and troubles mount, but still whispers linger and rumors endure... amid the conflict and a calm before the storm, the streets of Imperial City echo with talk of the Red Dawn...

Book 2 of the Red Dawn series.
