Betrayal of the Arcani #2
First Trial
The adventure continues as three unlikely heroes continue to fight to protect Rome from an unknown evil force.
Marius, Marcus, and Aelia have put their political differences aside as they continue to try and defeat Patricius the necromancer. However, as they will soon learn, the conspiracy plot has many layers above Patricius. Marcus continues to fine tune his magical ability in hopes he can successfully defend the party from the necromancer. Marius continues to have his suspicions that the Arcani are more than just a secret intelligence organization.
With new towns to explore in the grand Roman Empire, the party find themselves overwhelmed trying to find the truth. Meanwhile Patricius the necromancer is only becoming stronger as he and the legendary undead dragon, Zyrdeg continue to wreak havoc in Hispania. Even the zombies are becoming stronger with new abilities.
With Rome in danger, the party must complete the first trial that has been given to them by Jupiter, the Roman god of all Rome. However, when they learn the truth of the depths of the conspiracy they will probably wish they never accepted this mission. They will learn that Patricius is more than just your average evil blood mage.
All that can be said is that Rome is in more danger than anyone knows.

And the adventure full of action continues in this historical fantasy novel as Aelia, Marius, and Marcus fight Patricius the necromancer and the conspiracy plot! I like this literary cocktail of Roman gods, dragons, zombies, and human villains and heroes. My only concern about this book is its length. Although I am a fan of long reads (hail, hail Stephen King!), the whole Betrayal of the Arcani series of 700-plus-pages-long books might discourage some readers who would otherwise love to read it. Tightening the next books in the series might be something worth considering, because it wouldn’t devaluate them and ruin their storyline and dynamics, but could attract new fans. We all want more happy readers to enjoy the books we like, right? 😉
