What to expect
'A brilliantly realised world of Imperial ambition and native resistance' Simon Scarrow
'Wonderful, distinct characters' Conn Iggulden
Will Britain take him in... or mark him as its enemy?
Faustus Valerianus is the son of a Roman father and a British mother, a captive sold among the spoils after Claudius’ invasion.
When both parents die within a month of each other, he sells the family farm and enlists, joining legendary general Agricola’s campaign to conquer the entirety of the British Isles.
But Faustus will have to contend with more than ferocious British warriors and whip-cracking elements. For the bonds of blood can weigh heavy on one’s soul. The call of his mother’s true people. His father’s restless shadow. Faustus must carry them with him…
A deeply moving, gripping, and epic historical drama, perfect for fans of Ben Kane, Alex Gough, and Andrew Frediani.
Praise for ´Shadow of the Eagle´:
"A haunting, historical epic" - Gordon Doherty, author of ´Sons of Rome´
"I only need one word to describe this stunning novel: masterful" - Anthony Riches, Sunday Times bestselling author of ´Wounds of Honour´
