Young Aulus Spurinna’s homeland, Etruria, has fallen prey to a<br />
rebel league of soldiers lead by Manlius, an experienced and<br />
dangerous Roman warrior. When his uncle dies under a cloud of<br />
mystery, Spurinna must take his uncle’s place as the landowner of<br />
all Etruria. In order to save his homeland from Manlius, Spurinna<br />
travels to Rome to seek help from a Consul, Cicero. On his<br />
journey, Spurinna teams up with Cicero’s daughter, Tullia, and<br />
together they unravel a conspiracy that could overthrow the Roman<br />
Empire. Spurinna soon finds himself thrust into the midst of a<br />
deadly battle – and a fight to save his life, his home, and Rome.<br />
This first novel by classical scholar Jack Mitchell is a gripping<br />
tale that vaults over the centuries to bring ancient Rome to<br />
thrilling life.<br />

JACK MITCHELL was born in Sackville, New Brunswick, and grew up<br />
in Ottawa, Ontario. When he was fourteen, his admiration for J. R. R.<br />
Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings prompted him to take Latin during his<br />
first year in high school, and he has had a keen interest in Roman<br />
writers and Roman history ever since. After high school, Jack decided<br />
to become a writer: he moved to Paris for a year in 1995, where he<br />
wrote his first novel. He studied Classics at McGill University, and<br />
he is currently studying the Greek epic poetry of Homer at Stanford<br />
University in California. Visit his website at www.romanconspiracy.com.<br />
