At the edge of empire, one man stands alone
Alaric is an enemy of Rome.
For too long he has thwarted the empires attempts to gain control over the land that has long resisted them: Germania.To the Romans he is a scourge, always evading their carefully laid traps. But to the tribes he is much worse: Outlaw, chief killer, battle turner, Oathbreaker.
All men know him, all men fear him. At his back is a war host, on his shoulder sits Loki, the Trickster. A deal has been struck between the legions and the tribes: lifelong enemies agree to become friends, for a time. The eagles march with the wolves, together they hunt the raven.
Isolated and lacking in allies, will Alaric be able to break free from the noose that slowly encircles him? Or will the Sly One once more come to his rescue.
OATHBREAKER is the first in an action packed, adrenalin fueled duology set on the boundaries of the Roman Empire. RAVENSWORN out in May 2023
Praise for Adam Lofthouse:
“The characters are full of the life of the period, their flaws, their doubts, their abilities all on display; a feast for the readers”Hoover Book Review
“No holds barred, vivid Roman entertainment, probably the next best thing to actually being there”Speesh Reads
“A great mix of legion comradery with a personal plot you can get invested in, add in a couple of big twists along the way and you’ve got a smashing read” David's Book Blurg
"Flawed characters seeking redemption. Honour, courage, sacrifice, bloody battles and deadly betrayals, Valentia has it all. Adam Lofthouse goes from strength to strength and this novel is up there with the best in the genre." - Matthew Harffy on Valentia
"Lofthouse takes one of the most shadowy and intriguing events in Roman history and turns it into a rampantly-paced, intense adventure. Simply masterful." - Gordon Doherty on Valentia
"The author delivers a lesson in how to depict a frontier world at the edge of a crumbling empire and how to populate it with believable and very likeable characters." - Mark Knowles on Valentia
