The Hidden Ones

Romulus is soon to be King of Rome-that is if he can manage to find a way to get past the current emperor, Julius Nepos. Uldin, Romulus's trusted companion, is new to Roman life. Having spent his years in the Hunnic Empire of Central Asia, he has a lot to learn before he can accompany Romulus on his royal duties. All the while, Neferite, a black vestal virign, has been sentenced to death for a crime she did not commit. However, the lives of these three heroes have been flipped upside down when a tribe of barbarians attack Rome. In their search for safety, they must flee far from home, in order to find their destinies and save their beloved city.
