The Eagle Saga: Blood, Honor and the Dangerous Legacy of Rome
Britannia, 43 AD: The Roman Empire reaches for the misty island at the edge of the world. Amidst mud, betrayal and merciless battles, an unbreakable brotherhood of arms is forged between two unequal men: the young, strategically brilliant Tribune Gaius Julius Maximus and the relentless Centurion Lucius Junius Brutus, hardened in the fires of Germania.
As they lead the Second Legion Augusta against the charismatic rebel king Caratacus, Maximus fights an invisible enemy far more dangerous than Celtic axe-warriors. He guards a dark secret about his origins – a truth that flows in his veins with the power to shake the very foundations of the Empire. This legacy makes him a coveted game piece in the deadly intrigues of the imperial secretary Narcissus, who wants to bend or break Maximus.
The journey takes the Sons of Rome from the bloody sacrificial altars of the Druids through the dusty arenas of gladiators to the burning provinces of Thrace. In a world where a wrong word can be deadlier than a sword stroke, Maximus and Brutus must decide to whom their true loyalty belongs: the Eagle of Rome, their men, or the man at their side.
The Eagle Saga is a monumental historical epic about the thirst for revenge, the fight for justice and a shadow from the past that threatens to devour the light of the present.

Eagle Saga – The Legend of Dentatus
Rome, from 495 BC · Early Republic
A Hundred Battles. Eighty Scars. Not a Single One on His Back.
Lucius Siccius Dentatus stands between history and legend – the “Roman Achilles” of a young, bleeding Republic.
In an era when Rome is fighting for its bare survival, the unprecedented rise of a simple farmer to a feared warrior begins – the man they call “the Biter”.
At the side of the legendary Gnaeus Marcius Coriolanus, Dentatus proves before the walls of Corioli that he is the equal of even the gods of war. But while Coriolanus fights for glory, Dentatus wages a different war: the fight against the greed of the patricians and the chains of debt bondage.
Experience the epic of a man who became the nightmare of the powerful and the immortal hero of the people.

The Author
Marc Beuster
I'm Marc Beuster, born in 1981 in Northern Germany. What drives me is a fascination that has stayed with me since childhood: the world of antiquity – its battles, its heroes, its contradictions.
At some point I stopped just devouring other people's books and started writing my own stories. The courage to do so I owe to authors like Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell and Robert Fabbri – and to my wonderful wife, who supports me every day and makes it possible for me to truly live this passion.
The success has overwhelmed me. Honestly. I never imagined that so many people would stay loyal to my books and want to fight their way through mud, battles and intrigue alongside Maximus, Brutus and Dentatus. My gratitude to every single reader could not be greater – nor my excitement for everything we are yet to experience together.
For fans of Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell and Robert Fabbri.
