The Shattered City: Rome's First Civil War (The Iberian Chronicles)

88 B.C.E.

Caro of the Mentesani has fought for Rome for five years, and none of it has made him a Roman.

Now the Republic stands on the brink of collapse. Gaius Marius, its greatest living hero, and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, ruthless champion of the Senate, both claim the right to command its future.

As factions clash in the streets and blood stains Rome’s marble, Caro must turn to his commander and friend, Quintus Sertorius. Both are forced to choose where they stand and what they are willing to become. Meanwhile rumours spread of the unthinkable: a Roman army marching not against a foreign enemy, but on its own capital.

The Shattered City plunges readers into the Roman Republic’s first great civil war. It's a world of ambition, violence, and broken oaths, where loyalty is wielded like a weapon and survival sometimes demands betraying those closest to you.

Rome will never be the same.
