The tenth region of the night
(Book)

"Jurian's victory against the dark power in Cyrene has earned him renown throughout the Roman Empire, but fame means nothing to him if he can't save the friend he lost. When Jurian's search for Menas leads him to Alexandria, he finds an unlikely ally in the governor's precocious daughter Aikaterina. Together they are swept into the glittering intrigue of Diocletian's court in Nicodemia, where Jurian proves to the Emperor that he is more than a provincial legend. But Marcus Valerius Casca is also vying for Diocletian's favor, and his hatred for Jurian knows no limits. As Casca's devious plotting snares each of Jurian's friends in turn, Jurian must discover a way to beat his enemy at his own game and rescue Menas before he destroys them all. Saints aren't born. They are forged"--Page 4 of cover.
