Author Description

BLOOD AND HONOUR A Novel of Rome's Forgotten Legion In the embers of Rome's civil war, a disgraced officer of Legion XX Valeria Victrix rises from the bloodied sands of the arena to reclaim his honour-and the soul of a forgotten legion. Gaius Marcellus Varro once marched for Clodius Albinus. After betrayal, captivity, and forced combat in the amphitheatre of Deva, he escapes to rally the remnants of his scattered brothers. Amid the wild ridges of Britannia and the scheming halls of empire, Varro must unite fractured tribes, challenge a sadistic imperial envoy, and protect the eagle standard that once flew over the northern frontier. Blood and Honour is a vivid and unflinching historical novel that explores identity, vengeance, and the last breath of Roman honour in the shadow of tyranny. Perfect for readers of Robert Harris, Mary Renault, or Simon Scarrow, it blends military realism with mythic resonance. About the Author: Martin Antrobus is a historical fiction writer with a deep connection to the land and legacy of Roman Britain.
