Her life becomes entwined with those of two men, the enigmatic, angry Cillian, scholar and envoy, and the young musician, Sorley. Circumstances take them far from the known world to learn if the Empire of the East still exists - and if it does, will it come to the aid of its long-forgotten province?Evocative of Europe after the decline of Rome, Empire's Legacy is a story of love and sacrifice, choice and consequence, and the deep longing for home.
