The Dream of Magnus Maximus

The Dream of Magnus Maximus follows the family of the usurping Emperor Magnus Maximus and his British wife, Elen, in a tale of Britain’s emergence from Roman rule.

In AD 386, Britain stands on the brink of transformation. The familiar rhythms of life are crumbling as imperial control wanes. Struggles for independence clash with the might of empire, while old pagan beliefs confront the rising tide of Christianity—testing loyalties to kin and country alike.

As the Roman world fades, a dangerous new age is born. With it comes turmoil that threatens to engulf Britannia.

Can Magnus Maximus claim his dream of empire? And if he does, will Elen’s Christian faith help shape the future—or will the cost be too great for them both?
