Hraban has become his father.

Like Maroboodus, Hraban serves Rome. He has made oaths to Armin the Cherusci, but is really trying to find a way to destroy him. Through that dark service, Hraban seeks a pedestal so high in the Roman hierarchy, that it shall forever keep his family safe from harm. No matter the cost to Germania, to his honour, and to his friends, he is determined to make sure Tiberius will be, and will remain the new Augustus, and that Armin shall fall, as will Germanicus, the great rival of Tiberius. This service will guarantee Hraban immunity from his many enemies. No matter the cost, he will make sure none would ever threaten his son Gervas. The cost had already been high. His friends have abandoned him. Worse, Germanicus has had Cassia killed. The man's revenge has ripped Hraban's heart out.

He would go on for his son. All he had to do was to sell what remains of his soul.

And yet, Hraban wasn't his father. Unlike Maroboodus, the Bear, the Raven was slowly healing, and he was seeking a way out of his darkness. But nothing is ever simple in the world of Rome and Germania, for even Armin is changing, and Tiberius is slowly growing mad.

Perfect for those who love the stories of Bernard Cornwell, Colleen McCullough, Simon Scarrow, and Griff Hosker, the Hraban Chronicles will take you on an incredible and authentic road through the ancient Roman Empire and into the secretive court of Augustus and Tiberius. We will be following Hraban's relentless pursuit for the truth behind the deaths of his family, and for the causes of his misfortune.

The book contains graphic violence and is not suited for a reader seeking a fast read.
