In the thirty-third century, a vast empire teeters on the edge of destruction in the trilogy that “has the sweep and power of Asimov’s Foundation” (Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth’s Children series). A draconian ruling class. A slave rebellion threatening to boil over. A clandestine organization that has limitless power so long as it stays in the shadows. Concord is a hell of a place to die. In M.K. Wren’s mesmerizing trilogy (Sword of the Lamb, Shadow of the Swan, House of the Wolf), a hero defies his birthright to achieve a greater purpose—leading the citizens of Concord to freedom. Doing so may cost the one-time Lord Alexand everything he holds dear, from his love to his own life. With a breathtaking sweep and unforgettable characters, M.K. Wren has penned a series perfect for readers of Divergent.
Respublica
Respublica recreates the teeming world of pre-Christian Rome with all its drama and sensualism, and it mirrors the strife and crises of contemporary America. Marcus Cicero, a respected but marginalized statesman, describes in his own voice, complemented by omniscient narrative, his life-long struggle against subversion and tyranny. Cicero combats the intrigues of the renegade, Catalina, and then fends off the attacks of the wild demogogue, Clodius. He idolizes the military hero, Pompeius, while distrusting the ambitions of the emergent Caesar. In the midst of civil war, Cicero strives to hold his family together. Devoted to his strong-willed wife, Terentia, he is alternately tempted and repelled by the wanton, Clodia Pulchra. He writes his personal history for the benefit of his son, Marcus, but the very light of his life is his beloved daughter, Tullia. Cicero's brother, Quintus is loyal despite a simmering envy of his older sibling. In his ultimate struggle against the usurpations of Marcus Antonius, Cicero is fated to live or perish with the free Repubic. Respublica is powerful historical fiction written with heart and mind and spirit... and guts.
