Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction grounded in real events (the Battle of Carrhae, the Roman civil war) but want page-turning action that doesn't sacrifice authenticity.
You've devoured Bernard Cornwell or Conn Iggulden and crave that same blend of military strategy, personal betrayal, and survival against overwhelming odds.
You're drawn to stories about men pushed to their limits by geography and circumstance, where the journey itself becomes the central character.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn character studies or introspective narratives. This is relentlessly plot-driven and keeps moving.
You want romance as a central plotline. Valerius's love for his wife motivates him, but it's not the story's focus.
You're looking for novels that challenge the historical record. Falconer prioritises narrative momentum over ambiguity or revisionism.

About this book

In 53 BC, Roman tribune Valerius is captured after the defeat at Carrhae and finds himself stranded at the edge of the Parthian Empire. He vows to find his way back to Rome. Meanwhile, in Rome itself, Pompey and Caesar struggle for control as the Republic destabilizes and civil war threatens. Old alliances break apart. Valerius must undertake an epic journey across deserts, oceans, and unexplored lands to return home. Along the way, he faces shipwrecks, pirates, and a rival tribune who seeks his destruction. Driven by his love for his wife and a desire for vengeance, he must overcome impossible obstacles to reclaim his life and confront the friend who betrayed him.
