Ahead of the Eagles Wolves’ Cycle Book

Rome does not retreat. It adapts.

In the dying years of the Republic, Septimius Cursor leads a cohort of battle-hardened legionaries through the brutal eastern campaigns against Mithridates of Pontus. But the enemy has learned from Rome’s strengths – and now turns them against her.

When ambush, attrition, and the treacherous terrain of Pontus begin to bleed the army dry, Cursor is stripped from the line and handed an impossible mandate: go ahead of the eagles, into the dark, and find what Rome cannot see.
What follows is not the war of triumphs and senate speeches. It is the war of men who move through smoke and silence, who make decisions that never enter the record, and who carry the cost of victory long after the army moves on.

Ahead of the Eagles is historical fiction for readers who want to march with Rome into war. The discipline, the loyalty, and the moments when both courage and cruelty become indistinguishable from duty.
