Guiamo

by Marshall Best

Overview

Guiamo Durmius Stolo, an exceptionally gifted young Roman boy, is abandoned in Gaul in 60 B.C. Recognized by the gods as having world changing talents, he is given a weapon that directs his destiny forever. First of nine in the epic The Chronicles of Guiamo Durmius Stolo series.

Combining legitimate legends with actual historical events, Marshall Best weaves an epic story that portrays the ancient world as it might have been, a world which the ancient historians recorded as fact; a time when gods ruled the earth and strange creatures dominated the land. It is the era of civilized conquerors exploring distant and primitive new lands. Scant recordings left to us today only touch on the fringe of the fantastic and brutal reality that existed in those distant lands of the west. Into this age, young Guiamo enters the world stage as the great game-changer, and by his hand the gods and beasts become destined to disappear into myth and legend.
