    The Raven and the Eagle series

    By Geraint Jones

    About this series

    When defeat is inevitable there are only two options: go out on their terms, or yours.

    At last, the Roman Empire is winning one of its most savage wars. King Pinnes is dead. The Pannonian tribes have surrendered. Only the Dalmatians under Bato remain in the fight, and this brutal leader holds the life of a former Roman standard bearer in his hands.

    Corvus is spared only on condition that he continues to fight against Rome as a rebel, but his enemies are everywhere. Not only do the Romans want his head, but the treacherous Ziva – his supposed ally – is a constant threat.

    With the Pannonians knocked out of the war, the entire might of Rome is directed against Bato’s army. Legion after legion covers the landscape. Sieges are laid. Towns burn. Thousands die. There is no mercy.

    And there, in the fire of the rebellion’s last stand, Corvus must face his greatest betrayer – Marcus.

    The epic conclusion to the Raven and the Eagle series, perfect for fans of Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.

      Battle, plunder, and glory await The eagerly anticipated prequel series to Blood Forest (Ambush) and Siege. AD 6: The greatest army assembled in a generation prepares to march. But not Legionary Corvus. He and half his legion are to be left behind to garrison the province of Pannonia: a wild place where the mountains are as deadly as any foe. Corvus despairs as he watches his closest friend Marcus march to war, not knowing that his own eager thirst for battle is about to be quenched. A huge rebel army has revolted against the Empire, and Corvus and his few comrades are all that stand against them… A gritty historical adventure, perfect for fans of Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow. Praise for Geraint Jones ‘Outstanding… Geraint’s own military service has helped create a realistic and gritty vision of what it was like to be a soldier in Roman times. Bold, violent, but also deeply introspective, this book offers insight not only into history, but also the mind of the soldier. I couldn’t put it down’ Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire ‘Blood and guts, but also a clever exploration of the moral ambiguity of war and loyalty to a flag’ Mail on Sunday ‘Brutal, audacious, and fast paced’ Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series. ‘Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle’ Weekend Sport

      You can’t turn your back on Rome In the bloodied mountains of Pannonia, the Roman army struggles to put down a brutal rebellion. Corvus is now the standard bearer of the Eighth Legion, which has borne the brunt of the fighting. The famed soldier has lost one comrade after another, and now his oldest friend, Marcus, has betrayed him, shaking him to his core. Sick of the conflict, Corvus deserts his legion and rides for home to end his days in peace. But there is no escaping Rome, or its vengeance. Corvus might want a simple life, but when tragedy strikes, he is hauled back into the savage war. And this time, he won’t be fighting on the Roman side… The compelling second novel in the Raven and the Eagle series, perfect for fans of Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.
