Birds of Prey
First published 2024
Twelve years after Faustus Valerianus first came to Britain with the conquering army, Rome’s position in the west appears secure but rests on diminishing forces and agreements the occupiers do not fully understand. King Loarn and the Silures prepare another rebellion, while Faustus—whose mother belonged to the tribe—is expected to defend the government that conquered and displaced her people.
A sudden tragedy divides Faustus from his sister Silvia and turns a political crisis into a family reckoning. Both siblings are pulled towards opposing interpretations of loyalty, and Silvia may become the key to the coming conflict. As Roman officers and British leaders prepare for a final confrontation, Faustus must accept that command cannot protect his household from the consequences of conquest or resolve the competing inheritances he has carried throughout the trilogy.
