Krispos of Videssos

From Turtledove

Krispos of Videssos is the second book in the Tales of Krispos trilogy. It picks up immediately after the end of Krispos Rising, with Krispos settling into his newly-won position of avtokrator of Videssos. Throughout the book Krispos has to deal with raids by an evil priest named Harvas Black-robe, an internal rebellion led by his predecessor's uncle, theological/political problems with the patriarchs of the empire, and the issue of the identity of his son's father. Krispos struggles to overcome all these problems but manages to retain his crown and his head.
