The Final Confession Of Saint Augustine

Splashed across the landscapes of the fall of the Western Empire, Roman civil war, and the Vandal invasion of northern Africa is the story of the final days of Aurelius Augustinus, St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo Regius. Augustine is protected by the Roman renegade general, Bonifacius, who is himself bedeviled by both the barbarian invaders and armies from Rome sent to defeat him. Augustine sits uneasily on an episcopal throne he has earned over his forty-year-long hunt for heretics.Aged, tortured by incessant challenges to his authority from abroad as well as in his own backyard, Augustine's worldly troubles mirror his inner turmoil which he hopes to soothe in the company of the reappeared friend-of-his-youth, a former lover, bon vivant monk, and confessor whom Augustine thought to be dead for fifty years. The story interlocks with the secret history and life of Augustine's concubine, Sabina, and his daughter of that woman, now turned Christian seer and correspondent. When their daughter Sequia is captured by Vandal opportunists and held for ransom, Sabina must turn to Bishop Augustine for help. Will the 72 year old Augustine be poised to embrace or destroy the partner he long ago deserted. Will he save his unwanted daughter from barbarians? Will the truth come out in confession?
