Invictus: A Novel

Overview: Rome, 390 A.D. Alexander has led his legions against some big armies in the past, but he has never battled half an empire before now. Emperor Theodosius, a devout Christian, orders Alexander to eradicate the pagans and heretics from his provinces. Even Jews are no longer safe under the law. But those religions include far more than impersonal foes of Alexander. He finds himself pitted against good friends, his dear sister, and his male lover.
