Rome 174 AD. As the war continues in the north, Marcus Aurelius orders
Gaius Maximus and Rufus Atticus to return to Rome. Enemies lurk in the
shadows in the capital, spreading propaganda and sowing dissent. The
praetorian guards must lure their enemies out - and defeat them. Yet
Maximus is returning home for something, or rather someone, else:
Aurelia. The soldier will be caught between his duty and his happiness.
Rufus Atticus will also be forced to make a choice, between the duty he
owes to his Emperor and the duty he owes to his family. Triumph and
tragedy may prove to be two sides of the same coin. The centurions will
be caught-up in a web of intrigue - as well as a battle on the streets
of Rome - that will decide the fate of Marcus Aurelius and the Empire.
Sword of Empire: Centurion is the sequel to the best-selling novella
Sword of Empire: Praetorian. For fans of Simon Scarrow, Harry
Sidebottom, and Conn Iggulden.
