For 13 years, Sorley has taught music alongside the man he loves, war and betrayal nearly forgotten. But behind their calm and ordered life, there are hidden truths. When a young girl's question demands an answer, does he break the most important oath he has ever sworn by lying – or tell the truth, risking the destruction of both his family and a fragile political alliance?
Empire's Reckoning asks if love – of country, of an individual, of family – can be enough to leave behind the expectations of history and culture, and to chart a way to peace.

Reviews
...this book roused and spoke to my emotions, and provoked thoughts on my own part about what I thought and felt, and where I was. In these books, one really sees the character’s lives and feelings, and almost lives with them, day to day, but that does not distract from my feelings and thoughts about the situations and choices, and what those situations and choices provoke in me. If anything, they bring it out, and this one provoked a lot of deep thought...

Marian L. Thorpe
After two careers as a research scientist and an educator, Marian decided it was time to do what she'd always really wanted, and be a writer.
As well as her novels, Marian has published short stories and poetry. Her life-long interest in Roman and post-Roman European history provided the inspiration for her books, while other interests in landscape archaeology and birding provide the background.
