ONE MAN MUST DEFY AN EMPIRE -- OR BE CONSUMED BY IT.

AD 86. As Emperor Domitian tightens his grip on power, paranoia infects the heart of the Empire and no one is beyond suspicion. Against this backdrop of war and tyranny, one man -- Solanus -- must navigate the treacherous path between loyalty and rebellion. From the frozen frontiers of Dacia to the deadly intrigues of Rome itself, follow Solanus's journey through a crumbling dynasty, where the fate of an empire rests in the hands of a soldier who no longer knows who he is fighting for.

The Hero -- Solanus
Raised in the shadow of Rome's elite, Solanus is a soldier, spy, and survivor. The adopted son of Senator Quintus Fuscus, he was trained to serve the Empire from the shadows -- carrying out clandestine missions and navigating the dangerous politics of Domitian's Rome. When a disastrous Dacian campaign leaves him the lone survivor of a legion massacred in the Carpathians, Solanus returns to a city that no longer welcomes him. Betrayed, hunted, and driven by a personal vow to uncover the truth, he walks the knife-edge between duty and rebellion.

The Tyrant -- Emperor Domitian
Once underestimated, Domitian now rules Rome with an iron fist. Calling himself dominus et deus -- "lord and god" -- he tightens his grip on power with secret police, treason trials and brutal executions. Paranoia thrives in his court. Senators vanish. Informers flourish. And anyone who speaks the truth is silenced -- or killed. As Domitian's reign slides into despotism, even his most loyal supporters begin to question how long Rome can survive under his rule.

IN THIS THREE-BOOK BOX SET:

Book 1: The Eagle's Nest and the Wolf's Lair
When the Roman army is annihilated in the icy passes of Dacia, Solanus -- soldier, spy and reluctant survivor -- must escape enemy territory and carry news of a disaster the Empire will not want revealed. But in a world where loyalty is bought and betrayal lurks in every shadow, survival may prove harder than war itself.

Book 2: Season of the Gladiatrix
Back in Rome, Solanus is drawn into a dark web of intrigue involving a missing woman, a corrupt aristocracy, and the brutal underworld of the Colosseum. As a dangerous love and an even deadlier conspiracy take shape, Solanus must confront his past -- and choose who to trust before the sands run red.

Book 3: The End of a Dynasty
As Emperor Domitian's tyranny deepens and the Senate begins to fracture, Solanus finds himself caught between rival factions and a truth that could topple the imperial regime. With assassins in the alleys and rebellion brewing in the Senate, one man's reckoning may mark the fall of more than just a dynasty.

Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow, this epic trilogy explores the dark heart of Imperial Rome and the cost of truth in a world ruled by fear.
