Basil Basileus 5: The Varangian Guard

The story of emperor Basil II comes to a close after 300 pages. It was an epic project That almost took 5 years to complete. Plot on the 5th part: Basil II has suffered a catastrophic defeat at the Gates of Trajan. Samuel of Bulgaria now dominates the Balkans and threatens Thessaloniki, the second most important city of Rhomania. As Basil’s prestige crumbles, the empire’s great aristocratic magnates rise against him. With the support of Eustathios Maleinos, Bardas Phokas is proclaimed Emperor of the Romans and prepares to march on Constantinople. At his side stand Bardas Skleros, Leo Melissenos, and nearly the entire army of the Empire. To the south, the Fatimid Caliphate prepares to strike at Aleppo and Antioch. In the east, the Iberians have joined Bardas Phokas. Enemies on every frontier. No army. No allies. No hope. Basil’s survival hangs by a thread. If he is to save his throne... ...he must make ruthless decisions. He must look to the north... Available on Amazon both in paperback and kindle editions.
