The Sword of Augustus (The Birth of Rome, #2)

Following Caesar’s death, Rome is broken—bleeding, betrayed, and teetering on the edge of civil war.

From the shattered Senate to the battlefields of Philippi, The Sword of Augustus is a relentless tale of vengeance, ambition, and the rise of a new Rome—one ruled not by the Senate, but by a single man, chosen by fate and the will of the gods.

Told once more through the eyes of Flavius, battle-scarred centurion and sworn servant of Rome, this novel plunges into the dark days following Caesar’s assassination—where old friends become enemies, and the line between justice and revenge is written in blood.

At the side of Octavius, Caesar’s adopted son and chosen heir, Flavius must navigate the treacherous power struggle that will shape the soul of Rome. Against the fury of Marcus Antonius, the cunning of Cleopatra, and the rot of the Republic itself, a new order must rise—or all will fall into ruin.

For those who hunger for the clash of steel, the weight of destiny, and the making of emperors, this is history not as it was written—but as it was bloody, brutal, and eternal.
