An Imperial Passions Novel
From the author of the Imperial Passions novels, the epic drama of Anna Dalassena continues in "The Glory and the Kingship" as her son, Emperor Alexios Comnenus, battles waves of invaders after seizing the throne in 1081.
Battle-hardened Alexios Comnenus lead armies for ten years before taking the throne, but nothing prepared him for the triple threats of invasions from Turks, Pechenegs, and his most urgent menace - the power-hungry Norman mercenary, Robert Guiscard and his son, Bohemond. He spends the first fifteen years as emperor fighting battles to protect his empire.
Loyalty to his family and the Empire drives Alexios's commitment to repelling these vicious invaders. Anna Dalassena, meanwhile, is left behind in Constantinople to do battle in the Council chambers for the gold and men Alexios needs for his army. She also must manage the expectations of Alexios's spoiled wife, Rena, and those of the beautiful woman he fell in love with, Maria of Alania.
