Review: The Veiled Assassin by QV Hunter

Synopsis: Marcus wagers that surviving a deadly spy mission will earn him freedom from slavery, but he hasn't bargained on betrayal by the man he respects most in the world.A thrilling espionage adventure set in the fourth-century Roman Empire, "A Veiled Assassin" takes us to a broiling Numidian desert suffering from military occupation, sabotaged oil exports, and fanatical terrorists.

This is the first in an exciting series that pits Marcus against religious suicide martyrs, Gallo-Frankish army rebels as well as the corrupt imperial eunuchs ruling the East--all of them embers of a world blindly smoldering towards its extinction.

Prequel to a series set in the Roman period of the 4th Century.

Not for me - modern day plot posited into the 4th Century. DNF and will not pursue the series.
