Description
One weapon to rule them all…

Accused falsely of a grotesque act of murder, Leitus, the romantic noble son of the Empire’s greatest enemy finds himself beset from all sides by more foes than friends.

In his desperation, he feels himself alone in this world – nowhere to turn.

But soon he will learn that the world is not what he thought it once was.

Encountering Bita, a beautiful slave girl who is destined to bear the children of the Gods, he sees his life is changing forever.

But Bita’s provincial village of ancient Britain has been unable to prepare her for her almighty purpose.

Soon, both Bita and Leitus must join forces to fight the forces of evil that surround them.

As they struggle in this new, mystic reality, they encounter things they had never dreamt of.

Myths become reality, as the pair navigate an enchanted druid world filled with painted warriors, mist-covered forests and powerful magic.

What was once mere fantasy has now taken the shape of deadly tyranny.

A myth, you might ask, is a myth, but why stretch it so out of shape? God’s Children, Arthurian legends, fantastical abilities and the young taking on forces of tyranny.

Runes is a gripping action historical fantasy set across the Roman empire.
