A consuming story of love, loss and redemption set in the classical world of Rome and Greece, Of Merchants &amp; Heroes is the story of a young man`s pursuit of his father`s murderer and and of the values and qualities he develops that will make him a man... a man capable of a deep, noble and enduring love.
At the end of the third century BC, as Republican Rome`s long war with Carthage was at last drawing to a close, it was already threatened by a new enemy, Philip, the tyrant king of Macedon in the east... Into this turbulent world emerges our Roman hero, Marcus, whose father is brutally murdered by pirates on a journey from Italy to Corfu on a visit to his uncle. Fate takes him to some of the great cities of the Greco-Roman world at a time of major turbulence, where he learns much and finds love unexpectedly.
This is a remarkable, beautifully written debut that explores political and philosophical questions that are timeless – democracy and tyranny, war and self-defence, right and duty – as well as questions of love, loyalty and betrayal.

By the middle of fourth century AD, Britain and the Roman Empire had been ruled for a generation by Christian emperors. Now, at last, with the force of the state behind it, the Church was strong enough to suppress all opposition to its power. But in Britain there was still resistance...Seen through the eyes of Drusus, a young British Roman, and set against the backdrop of imperial civil war and the growing threat from Rome's enemies beyond its frontiers, the followers of faith and reason clash and the old values of classical enlightenment are called into question. And it is Drusus who is there to witness the cracks as they begin to split the great monumental edifice of the Roman Empire...

It's 355 AD: the late-Roman world is one of ambitious bureaucrats and power-hungry courtiers. Two young members of the British nobility, Drusus and Marcellus, have fallen foul of the emperor's authority. Charged with treason by their nemesis, the emperor's dark and terrifying agent Paulus, they must face the might of the corrupt Roman state. Their only ally is the young imperial prince, Julian. But Julian has troubles of his own: his success has made him hated by his uncle, the emperor. Surrounded by spies and adversaries, the two friends link their fate with Julian's. In a life-or-death struggle that takes them across the empire, they set themselves against forces determined to crush them. Praise for Paul Waters' "Of Merchants & Heroes": 'A masterpiece that deserves to become one of the classics of historical fiction' - Manda Scott.
