Buy the book from:
At Pharsalus in 48 BCE, Caesar’s veterans face a larger army commanded by Pompey. The battle will decide the civil war and determine which general can claim to speak for Rome. Lucius Oppius enters the campaign with a private objective: revenge against Flavius Laco, a former gladiator and Pompeian agent responsible for his father’s death.
The personal pursuit unfolds beside the decisions of Caesar, Pompey, Mark Antony, Brutus and Cicero. Oppius must choose whether vengeance matters more than his place in the line when the armies engage. The final Sword of Rome novella brings the series from foreign conquest to Roman self-destruction, showing military professionalism used in a conflict where victory cannot restore the political order that both sides invoke.
