Innocence & Gold Dust - A Timeless Story of Power and Revenge

Nov. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- This novel takes place in the latter half of the fourth century in the Roman Empire, a time and place not often frequented in fiction. Eutropius is an orphan who is castrated as a baby to increase his worth as a slave. And as a slave, he struggles with his lack of social and sexual power, which then turns into a lust for wealth and political power. Eutropius uses questionable methods to gain money and prestige.

As he works his way up, public outrage over such high standing for a eunuch threatens to knock him back down again. Scenes in this novel based on historical events surround crazy emperors, greedy politicians, well-meaning bishops and womanizing generals, giving readers a vivid look into a world they’ve likely never seen.
