Arminius, Bane of Eagles (War on Rome)

Swords clash with ancient sorcery in this first volume of ADRIAN COLE’S epic alternative world trilogy.

Set in an alternative Romano-Celtic Europe, ARMINIUS, BANE OF EAGLES opens with the murder of young Claudius, 14 year old brother of Germanicus, during the last years of the reign of Augustus Caesar, ruler of the vast Roman Empire.

In this world, Arminius, the Germanic tribal leader and destroyer of three entire Roman legions in the Teutoburger forest, and Germanicus, ambitious Roman conqueror and potential heir to the Empire, avoid assassination attempts and set out on a course that will eventually see them clash in a war that will shake the foundations of their world.

Their battles and campaigns are brought vividly to life as history twists and turns down ever darker passageways, where sorcery and elemental forces collide with the Roman war machine, and the conspiracies of the Via Tenebrarum, a secret cult dedicated to the elder gods of Old Night and whose web enmeshes a world, weave a corrupt future for humanity.

Set in the forbidding landscape of the Germanic forests, across the northern seas, in the far reaches of Caledonia and mysterious regions of Britannia, to the heart of Rome itself,
WAR ON ROME races to a dramatic climax that will determine the history of European generations to come.

Fabulous fantasy action and intrigue from Award winning author, ADRIAN COLE, whose works include The Omaran Saga, Elak, King of Atlantis, and The Voidal Saga.

Volume II, GERMANICUS, LORD OF EAGLES, and Volume III, BOUDICA, THE SAVAGE QUEEN, will also be published by DMR Books.
