A consuming story of love, loss and redemption set in the classical world of Rome and Greece, Of Merchants & Heroes is the story of a young man's pursuit of his father's murderer and and of the values and qualities he develops that will make him a man . . . a man capable of a deep, noble and enduring love. At the end of the third century BC, as Republican Rome's long war with Carthage was at last drawing to a close, it was already threatened by a new enemy, Philip, the tyrant king of Macedon in the east. Thus begins Rome's long involvement with Greek civilization, from which it is to learn so much . . . Into this turbulent world emerges our Roman hero, Marcus, whose father is brutally murdered by pirates on a journey from Italy to Corfu on a visit to his uncle. Fate takes him to some of the great cities of the Greco-Roman world at a time of major turbulence, where he learns much and finds love unexpectedly. This is a remarkable, beautifully written debut that explores political and philosophical questions that are timeless – democracy and tyranny, war and self-defence, right and duty – as well as questions of love, loyalty and betrayal.

Drusus ist vierzehn, als sein Vater unter dem neuen Kaiser Constans einer Intrige zum Opfer fällt. Religiöse Fanatiker reißen den Familienbesitz an sich. Sein geliebter Lehrer stirbt. Drusus steht vor dem Nichts. Zudem ist er ein Anhänger der alten römischen Religion, während überall das Christentum auf dem Vormarsch ist. Mitten in bürgerkriegsähnlichen Unruhen muss Drusus sich entscheiden, wem er vertrauen kann, wen er lieben darf und gegen wen er kämpfen muss. Ein bemerkenswerter, brillant geschriebener Roman in der Tradition von Mary Renault und Robert Ranke-Graves.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 355 nach Christus. Das römische Reich hat längst den Höhepunkt seiner Macht überschritten. In einer Welt ehrgeiziger Beamter und machthungriger Priester ist Drusus, der immer noch an die alten Götter glaubt, in Ungnade gefallen. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Marcellus nimmt er den Kampf gegen den korrupten Staat auf. Ihr einziger Verbündeter ist der junge Julian - Philosoph, Statthalter in Germanien und Neffe des blutrünstigen Kaisers Constantius. Mit einem Heer treuer Verbündeter plant er die Rebellion.
