Scanlan Kasia continues his work as the spy, code named Nightjar, in Lies and Shadows. With Rome declaring war on King Philip the Fifth, Scanlan takes on greater challenges and more responsibility in the Macedonian army. How deep undercover can a spy go before he turns a dark corner and joins the other side?
In Lies and Shadows, Scanlan’s dubious loyalty to the Roman Legion gets tested. With every message passed to Tribune Lepidus and each face-to-face meeting with the stoic, Tsolak of Fyli, Scanlan stands a greater chance of being discovered. An unpleasant death is the consequence of exposure while the rewards for success are a few coins from a Legion paymaster.
What started as a lark for the Insubri youth has become a game of avoiding the bright rays of truth while sticking to the deep shades of deception. As long as Nightjar remains obscure between light and shadow, he’ll survive as a scribe to the Macedonian King and a Legion spy.
Come along with Scanlan as the great deception continues in book 2 of the Provinces of Rome series.
