James - The Slave Trade (1997) - Simon - 12-10-2025
'Look at you,' Karl sneered. 'You can't wait for it, can you? And I know exactly what it is you want. Beg for it. Beg for it like the stinking little slave you are.' 'Please...' Marc's breath came out in short bursts. Louder!' Karl said, and slapped Marc's face. Tell me what it is that you want! Tell me what it is that you can't live without!'
Barely eighteen and innocent of the desires of men, Marc is the sole survivor of a noble British family. When his home village falls to the invading Romans, he is forced to flee – and not just for his life. He first finds sanctuary with Karl, the barbarian from far-off Germanica, whose words seem kind, but whose eyes conceal a dark and brooding menace. Is it only Marc's safety that Karl is interested in? Or is it something much more? And then they are captured by Gaius, a general from Caesar's all-conquering army. Gaius has special plans for Marc and Karl, plans which will take all three of them across the seas to Rome, the Imperial City, master of the world, sensual, decadent – and wicked beyond belief.
