What to expect

An epic action-packed adventure set outside the boundaries of Ancient Rome 🛡️ Must-read for fans of Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and Ben Kane ⚔️

'Highly recommended!' - M J Porter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It takes years to build a legend.

It takes mere heartbeats to shatter it to dust.

150 AD. Alaric, once lord of the Ravensworn is no longer feared nor revered. It has been six long years since his great defeat. He now lives life in the shadows. All hopes of glory and eternal rest in the Heroes Hall are gone. Alaric is alone. An outlaw to his land.

When a band of horsemen appear on the horizon, eager to recruit the man they still believe to be a lord of war. And so Alaric is pulled back to a life he thought had forsaken him. For in the far north of Germania lies a tribe in desperate need of aid.

In the far reaches of the land, for a cause not his own, Alaric will fly the Raven banner once more. In doing so, he will show both man and Gods that his story is not yet over.

*Title previously published as Ravensworn
