Publisher's Synopsis
An action-packed historical fiction thriller with a touch of fantasy that will satisfy your adventurous side, tug at your heart, and make you cheer. Follow the epic adventures of five generations of ancient warriors in this fictional story based on history. These heroes and heroines are august warriors, builders of cities, and founders of kingdoms and countries. Their story takes place a millennium before the rise of the Roman Empire, when dragons are still being born and giants walk the earth. Yet, neither fate, love, evil, or heartbreak can keep our heroes and heroines from their destiny.
The story begins as Brutus reminisces about the generations of heroes who came before him. These ancestors led him through the ages to his moment in time, at the birth of a new civilization and a new country. Each generation of heroes face the challenges and obstacles put in their path, be it hostile armies, mystical creatures, and natural or unnatural disasters.
Anchises, once a hero of Troy and great warrior, is now aged and weak from the many battles fought and won. His roll now, an elder and counsel to the royal family of Troy, and to his own family. Aeneas rescues a thousand women and children from certain death at the fall of Troy. Their miraculous escape and adventures take them from Troy to Thrace to Carthage, and many places in between. Ascanius battles with enemies and dark forces to found a new city, which history tells was the foundation of Rome. Silvius inherits a kingdom from his father, and weds a divine entity who has taken human form. Tragically, Silvius is killed by his own son. His son cannot be executed because he is royalty, and so is forever exiled from the land he loves, which starts the whole chain of events and adventures that led to the making of Memories of The First King.
