About
For fans of the Gladiator!Flavius Belisariusis a man' s man, a young and brilliant general who stands out amongst the other tyrannical and conniving men in his class. Unlike the others, he seeks the glory and restoration of Rome and needs little for himself. Or so he thought. All at once, he is enamored by a startlingly beautiful and famously promiscuous woman, Antonina. Despite his awkwardness around women, he wins her heart. But her heart does not stay in the same place for too long. Belisarius is called upon to reconquer an ancient Roman colony. Fueled by the greatness of his mission, he completely loses sight of his wife, until he finds her in the enemy' s cellar tangled in the arms of another man. The scene is more wretched, gorier than any he had seen on the battlefield. And it is one that he cannot shake. Will the great man of Rome, Belisarius General of the East, buckle under a broken heart? Or will he have the courage to stand, even wounded?

"Robert Bruton has a wonderful ability to seamlessly combine the horrors and cruelty of war with the tenderness and joy of romance, love, and comradeship. I appreciated the opportunity to further know and understand the characters I had read about in his previous book. Empire Resurgent is another wonderful read from this author and one that I can highly recommend."

His efforts result in highly detailed battles which are told with the ultimate intention of subconsciously immersing the reader into the story completely"
