The Farthest Shield
The lost legion of Carrhae marched east into history. One man marched all the way to China.
The shield cycle
Three standalone novels from the less-told corners of the ancient world — the moments and people that shaped the world we know. Bound not by plot but by a motif: the shield, and the soldiers and makers the record forgets. Read them in any order.
By historical setting, the wars run: the First Punic War (The Hammer and the Shield), the Second Punic War (The Shield Left Behind), then Carrhae and the long road east (The Farthest Shield). Each is complete in itself.
