The Silent Emperor - Paperback
by Snorri Kristj?nsson (Author)
Second instalment in the bold new historical fantasy of a secret order of Roman monster-hunters.
"I am shadow, and I am terror. They call me Silent Claw." Aemilius and his new comrades in the Hidden Legion have a new mission: to infiltrate the villa of a powerful politician and foil a plot against him. Posing as a servant to their host's "cousin" and her "children"--the Legion's latest recruits, a pair of adorable orphans trained in murder and espionage--Aemilius must keep his cover, while helping expose a killer who always seems one step ahead of them. As his newfound magical powers slowly unfold, he begins to hear the thoughts of animals and finds unexpected new allies, including a housecat with an inflated sense of its own importance. He'll need all the help he can get, as the Legion find themselves locked in a desperate fight for survival against a foe with even darker and more terrible powers than those they faced in Alexandria.A teacher, a stand up comic, former cement packing factory worker and graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Snorri Kristjansson also writes things. Sometimes they are books (mainly about Vikings), sometimes they are films (mainly not about Vikings) or silly stage plays (you probably don't want to know, to be honest).
