Renatus (The Valentine Chronicles)

By B. A. Babineau

In a future world, divided into just 4 countries, Markus Valentine becomes the new, 18-year-old Emperor of Eurasia, following the death of his father. Arena fighting is the main sport and a newly rising star is Fane. He believes that arena fighting should be to the death, but the law forbids murder and those found guilty are sentenced to death. This is the fate of Cornelius Johnston, a man who murdered his fianc e at the behest of his father, and whose life will become inextricably entwined with that of the new Emperor. When Fane kills another man in the Arena, he is pardoned by Markus, much to the dismay of the crowd. But the new favorite and the young Emperor are soon on a collision course as both men fall in love with the alluring Rosalyn. But after Fane and Rosalyn marry, Markus becomes jealous. He kills her family and takes her for his own, intent that she will provide him with a son and heir. Exiled and alone, Fane meets Amaranta and they have two children together. But the memory of what Markus Valentine did still cuts deep and he is determined to exact vengeance on him. Will a gladiator have his revenge on an Emperor? And will a murderer be pardoned against the laws of the country?
