Book
The Border Wolves
First published 2021
Correus has become prefect of a cavalry ala on the Danube, while Flavius remains close enough to Domitian to understand how little the emperor wants to hear unwelcome military intelligence. A new coalition beyond the frontier is stronger and better organised than Roman officials admit. Both brothers warn that delay will produce a major defeat, but court rivalry and imperial vanity obstruct preparation.
An angry senator creates a second threat to the House of Appius Julianus, making the safety of the brothers’ wives, children and dependants part of the same political struggle as the frontier campaign. Correus must hold a vulnerable border with insufficient support while Flavius attempts to influence a ruler who treats warning as disloyalty. The final volume brings four decades of family rivalry and service to a conclusion during the crisis of Domitian’s Danube wars.
