Book excerpt: Tales of deceit, betrayal and revenge in ancient Rome await... Includes all four books in The Centurions series; The Centurions, The Barbarian Princess, The Emperor’s Games and The Border Wolves. The Centurions: Correus and Flavius are half-brothers, sons of a brilliant general. One, son of a slave, is a born warrior destined to excel. The other, a nobleman by birth, must struggle relentlessly to succeed. When they both join the Centuriate, a position Flavius has always known he will inherit, and one that Correus has long coveted, together they face the brutal reality of war. Fighting German barbarians will prove dangerous, not only to their bodies, but to their souls as well... Barbarian Princess: Half-brothers and rivals, Correus and Flavius, lead dangerous lives as Centurions. After imprisonment and torture, Flavius found his strength and proved his mettle. Correus, son of a slave, found glory on the battlefield. But now the brothers have been stationed in Wales, a land of barbarians, mud and freezing rain. Here they must face the shame of lost battle and the thrill of a new era for their beloved Rome. And in Wales awaits a prize that could change one of their lives forever... The Emperor's Games: Correus and Flavius have won respect in service to the Empire. Correus is entrusted with the honoured task of running the Emperor’s brutal games. Flavius, a Centurion at his brother’s side, has risen to become the Emperor’s most trusted advisor. But now Correus has been given a deadly mission: quelling a barbarian uprising in Germany. While he struggles to negotiate a treaty that could save the lives of thousands, he uncovers a deadly plot that could cast the Empire – and his own family – into ruin... The Border Wolves: A new threat has emerged at the outskirts of the Roman Empire on the Danube, one that could throw the entire region into chaos. Correus, risen to prefect of a cavalry ala on the border, and Flavius, advisor to the emperor, have both attempted to warn the erratic Domitian of the seriousness of this foe, but to no avail. With trouble at home in the form of an irate senator, as well as the impending doom of a devastating military loss, can the two brothers use their accumulated experience, grit and trust in each other to ensure their family’s safety, once and for all? An epic Roman adventure series spanning continents, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
