Attila's Last Bride

Sequel to Stones for a Crumbling Wall

By: Justine Randers-Pehrson

Roman Gaul underwent many violent changes in the Fifth Century, when barbarian hordes broke into the failing empire. Carus, though a Gallo-Roman, has grown to manhood among the Visigoths. Assassination of his friend the king of the Visigoths leads to his flight and his struggle to support Avitus, and later Majorian, who were among the last of the Roman emperors. He meets disaster and is for six years a galley slave in the war fleet of the Vandals under Gaiseric, whose base was in North Africa. Carus's wife Ildico, a Burgundian princess who has been a captive of the Huns, is a staunch companion. In the course of their difficult lives, Carus and Ildico are associated with Sidonius, a poet of the "silver age" of Latin literature, as well as with Faustus, abbot of the island monastery of Lerins and bishop of Riez.

Colonel Erbe's Daughters

By: Justine Randers-Pehrson

Colonel Erbe's daughters have different views of woman's place in the world. The eldest, Dickey, is a confirmed feminist. Her younger sister, Petra, is employed as a cartographer in the US Land Office, rather against her will. She refuses to regard herself as a "career woman." The youngest of the trio, Agatha, is widowed in the first year of her marriage and returns to Washington from a western Army garrison, facing the need to support herself although she has no special training. Much of the story is seen through the eyes of Kurt Steiner, a veteran of the failed revolution in Germany (1848) and of the Union Army. As a friend of Colonel Erbe, and chief of the Land Office cartographic section, he tries to help the young women and becomes entangled in their lives. He features prominently in the consciousness of all three sisters.

Stones for a Crumbling Wall

By: Justine Randers-Pehrson

Audax the hero is a convinced military defender of the Roman Empire. The disasters that he undergoes (serious wound, captivity, loss of wife and children, and conflict with Aetius, his commanding officer) force him to flee to Visigoth territory and the protection of his former captor, King Theodoric. With a new life companion in his new surroundings, Audax becomes a powerful personage among the barbarians, and discovers unanticipated aspects of responsibilities and allegiances. His complicated life brings him into contact with such historic figures as Germanus of Auxerre, Lupus of Troyes, Hilary of Arles, as well as the mysterious Vortigern in Britain. In a stirring finish, Audax accompanies Theodoric to the battle of Mauriac, where Romans and barbarians join in thrusting back the invader, Attila the Hun.
