"This is a bloody bunch of books filled with cruelty, mayhem, and murder. But also of love and war: love for family, friends, and one's people and their place; war for freedom and safety of those loved." - Amazon review

"This is an amazing series. The detail of the time, political climate and intrigue in this series is absolutely STELLAR. Definite must read!" - Amazon review

Augustus, Armin, and Germanicus are dead, and Tiberius rules Rome. Maroboodus is a prisoner in Ravenna. Germania is in turmoil, but unconquered, and Rome's eyes are elsewhere. Hraban's son is safe with Hands.

Hraban, however, must brave Rome once more with the help of Gernot, his brother.

He is hunting for the killer of his wife, and he descends into the bloody underbelly of Rome into the gladiatorial world where he seeks to finish his quest for vengeance. After that, he will serve Tiberius, and, if Tiberius agrees, he shall later travel back to his old home and start his life over with what little remains of his years.

And yet, god Woden is laughing, for while Hraban seeks Ulrich, the man who put an arrow in Cassia's back, Hraban discovers clues to the deceit and madness of once-fair Tiberius.

He and his few allies must decide if they will undertake a dangerous quest to save Rome and the few remaining kin of Drusus from a man who hates the city and the empire and who has gone dangerously unstable. Enemies must become friends if they would have any hope of success. The secret they discover, will change everything.

Rome need not be saved. Rome cannot save him or his son.

Hraban will punish it, instead.

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.
