Beschreibung
The Blockbuster epic of the Roman Empire's disintegration.
Thorn the Goth is an orphan, brought up in a monastery, transferred to a nunnery, and thrown out into an unforgiving world when the stunning discovery is made that Thorn is a hermaphrodite. For many, this bizarre sexual trait would be a crippling disadvantage. For Thorn, it presents a unique chance to enjoy every pleasure of the flesh, to dissemble, to be all things to all men and to women.
As the Roman Empire comes under increasing threat from the dark forces that surround it, Thorn eventually finds himself riding at the side of the Goth king, Theodoric. Without ever revealing the strange double life forced on him by a twist of nature, Thorn serves the king as both Field Marshall and Ambassador.
Violent battles, erotically charged encounters and a gallery of richly drawn and colourful characters combine in a powerfully written narrative that endows ancient history with drama and immediacy.
