The bestselling historical fiction story you have been looking for...
"Longward improves with each book in this series of the Germania and Rome. Intrigue, political and military and twists, fill the plot. He gives life to a part of history that I was aware of but had very little detail. The battle descriptions make the tale come alive. You can hear the Roman soldiers marching in battle formation and the cries of the Germans as they do battle with the Romans." - Amazon review
" Fun read, Longward really does justice to the battle of Teutoburg forest." - Amazon review
Treading a precarious path as a killer for a deadly lady in Rome, Hraban risks his life, and that of his friends to regain his captive family.
His lot is that of a spy and a murderer, as his band of Germani Custodes Corporis seeks to guard the life of Tiberius, who is an exile in Rhodes, hated by Augustus and the future rulers of Rome. If they succeed, Hraban's family will be released, and Rome will change for good.
Yet, long years of treading paths of foul servitude have left Hraban tired and enraged. Knowing full well no word of his wicked mistress can be trusted, Hraban finally takes a route that is of his own making. The terror and deceit he intends to deal with his enemies are cleverly planned.
Will Hraban's desperate plan give him what he most yearns for, or will it indeed cost him his life, his honor, his remaining friends, and even the family he hopes to protect?
Perfect for those who love the stories of Bernard Cornwell, Colleen McCullough, Simon Scarrow, and Griff Hosker, the Hraban Chronicles will take you on an incredible and authentic road through the ancient Roman Empire and into the secretive court of Augustus and Tiberius. We will be following Hraban's relentless pursuit for the truth behind the deaths of his family, and for the causes of his misfortune.
The book contains graphic violence and is not suited for a reader seeking a fast read.
