Book
The Centurion’s Son
First published 2017
The Roman frontier in the later second century. Albinus, son of the veteran Silus, wants a farmer’s life with Licina rather than the military career his father demands. Their conflict ends when Germanic raiders destroy the settlement, kill Silus and carry Licina away.
Albinus joins the army to pursue her and avenge his father. His private quest becomes part of Rome’s struggle against northern tribes whose attacks are growing into a major frontier war, forcing him to become the kind of soldier he had tried to avoid.
