Book
Dark Eagle VII
First published 2025
A dying man emerges from the desert south of Roman Egypt carrying a jewelled gold necklace and the tattoo of a legion believed lost. His final word, Panthera, convinces Claudius that the discovery cannot be treated as an isolated frontier mystery.
The Occultum is sent beyond the empire's established southern limits. Their search moves through territory known to Rome largely through traders and rumour, where the remains of earlier powers conceal information capable of embarrassing the imperial government.
