Tau: Barbarians of Rome Book Two

By James Walker

Tau, freed galley slave and former prince of Ghana, must leave the Empire of Rome to return home to his African kingdom. With his trusty friend Ulrich, they must battle pirates, cross the freezing Atlas Mountains, and brave the wasteland of the Sahara in order to face their destiny. When an unexpected war blocks their path, they must seek unlikely allies among the reclusive people of the desert in order to upset the balance of empires.

Tau is the second novel in a historical fiction series based on true events of the fourth century A.D. Beyond the reaches of Rome, great kingdoms rise and fall deep within the continent of Africa. The Berber Gaetuli and Garamantes ply the Atlas slopes and desert sands. Camel caravans thousands-strong carry the trans-Saharan trade, and the gold-rich empire of Ghana grows in power. Amidst it all, Tin Hinan, the mysterious queen of the Tuareg, unites her nomadic people to stand against the chaos and dangers of this world.
