The Servant's Song

By Michael Dobson

Book Overview

Lucretius doesn't know what he is, but every night they cry his name in the streets, calling for their messiah. And every morning, another hundred crucifixes fill the arena.Glamrhoth is a city with two messiahs. The emperor-messiah sits in his palace wearing purple robes, with a hundred thousand spears at his command. Lucretius wears rags, and has the power to tear down the palace with a clap of his hands- or so they say.When a slave appears with the same god-given powers, Lucretius finally has a clue to what he really is. But when the slave tries to assassinate the emperor, Lucretius must choose: let the slave die and renounce the name of saviour, or save the slave and start a war that will see a million men die.Lucretius must prove himself the man they cry for every night. But if he should clap his hands and nothing happens, what then? How far must Lucretius go to live up to his name?
