Description: In the middle of the eighth century the decaying city of Rome lies defenseless against the advance of the war-mongering Lombards. The new Pope, Stephen II, appeals for help from the Eastern Emperor, but none arrives. In desperation the Pope's younger brother and a visiting nun risk their own souls to change the course of history. Based on real people and actual events, this is a tale of intrigue, illicit passion, war, and the struggle for control of medieval Europe. -- Publisher.
