1. Praetorian
171AD.
Rome is at war with the northern tribes – and is yet to win a significant battle.
The Germanic armies have crossed the Danube and have attacked the Empire, slaughtering thousands.
The Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, is losing the support of the people and the Senate.
Yet he has formed a plan he believes will change the balance of power in the region.
Aurelius has despatched an officer in the Praetorian Guard, the centurion Gaius Maximus, to escort the son and daughter of a powerful German tribal chief back to their village through enemy territory – in hope of arranging an alliance with Rome.
But Maximus, to complete his mission, must contest with enemies at home, as well as abroad.
One man will change the fate of an Empire, or die trying.
From the backstreets of Rome, to the forests of Germany, and onto the Battle of Pannonia, Sword of Empire: Praetorian is the first book in a new series from the bestselling author of the novel Augustus: Son of Rome – and the Sword of Rome collection of novellas about the campaigns of Julius Caesar.
2. Centurion
Rome 174AD.
As the war continues in the north Marcus Aurelius orders Gaius Maximus and Rufus Atticus to return to Rome. Enemies lurk in the shadows in the capital, spreading propaganda and sowing dissent. The praetorian guards must lure their enemies out – and defeat them.
Yet Maximus is returning home for something, or rather someone, else: Aurelia. The soldier will be caught between his duty and his happiness.
Rufus Atticus will also be forced to make a choice, between the duty he owes to his Emperor and the duty he owes to his family.
Triumph and tragedy may prove to be two sides of the same coin.
The centurions will be caught-up in a web of intrigue – as well as a battle on the streets of Rome – that will decide the fate of Marcus Aurelius and the Empire.

But as well as offering the soldier a pardon the Emperor has summoned Maximus to ask him to complete one final mission. He must venture into enemy territory and assassinate Balomar, king of the Marcomanni.
Maximus will not only need to best barbarians and the king’s bodyguard to fulfil his mission however. To succeed – and survive – Maximus will have to defy the future Emperor Commodus and defeat a band of Roman mercenaries.
