Freshly stained with the blood of Caesar Gallus, Agent Numidianus must spy on a rising Franco-Roman hero rescuing Roman Gaul from Alemannic raiders. The dashing General Claudius Silvanus once betrayed Marcus’ father but later saved Marcus himself from execution. Is Silvanus now the man to save the Roman Empire of the West—or destroy it? Should Marcus warn him of treachery in Emperor Constantius II’s court or let the Fates exact revenge on his behalf? The Wolves of Ambition is the fourth in a thrilling espionage adventure series set in the post-Constantine era. It plunges Marcus Gregorianus Numidianus into a contest between military heroes versus intrigant courtiers for influence over the paranoid Constantius—all of them embers of an empire blindly smoldering toward extinction. Packed with action and suspense, the Embers of Empire series is delighting fans of Bernard Cornwell, Steven Saylor, and Robert Harris. Q.V. Hunter is the author of nine  Embers of Empire  stories of adventure and espionage in the Late Roman Empire of the fourth century. Hunter lives in a Jurassien village in the Swiss mountains which was once a lookout point for Roman soldiers posted to Julius Caesar's colony Noviodunum.
