Mirror Motives: Book One of the Immortal Empires Trilogy (Immortal Empires: The Seventh Age Trilogy) (Volume 1)

Mirror Motives introduces a completely new world for fantasy and historical fiction lovers alike. Set in a parallel dimension where the greatly outnumbered five Ancient Races rule the Starborn and Newborn races by virtue of their powerful magic, the story twists and turns, woven from the point of view of well-developed characters. The greatest general and Arval Master Maximillian Praedatorus abdicates with his Empress in favor of their sixteen year old son, according to Imperial Decree. That's when Rome's enemies rise in a frenzy of deep-seeded rage to bring down the Ancient Races. Queen Furia, secretly the leader of the Cloud Dancer assassins, plots to regain the Iron Throne. Thascius Gildo, her lover, vows revenge on the Northern Empire for exiling his family. Tiberius Tarquinius escapes pirates and vampires in a vainglorious attempt to free the dragons. Sultan Sargon of Persia commands the extremely powerful and equally wicked Eye of Sydyll. Wyrmkyn shapeshifters murder and become those they murdered in a colossal covert invasion. And try as she might, Vestal Virgin Aunt Julia cannot avoid war as hatred incarnate, the Marune called He Who Stands Alone, brings to fruition his latest attempt to destroy mankind. Political plot intrigues, complicated with magic and bold-faced lies, manipulations, and a little love, whirl in this novel of powerful, beautiful women, great heroes, and even greater villains. It is the precursor to a comprehensive and unique Role-Playing Game system to be released by Skyborn Studios in the near future.
