The Eagle's Rise

di Blake Patrick (Autore)

Blake Patrick, 2024

Gaius Marius Maximus has dreamed of Rome for as long as he can remember. Leaving behind the fields of Latium, he enters the legions believing courage, discipline and loyalty will be enough to make him a soldier. He soon discovers that Rome demands far more. Beyond Italia lies Gaul—a land of hostile tribes, uneasy alliances and men who have every reason to hate the eagle marching across their country. Among them, Gaius must learn the brutal difference between following orders and deserving to command. Beside him march the men who will become his brothers: the irrepressible Marcus, steadfast Titus, quiet Drusus and others whose lives will become inseparable from his own. Together they will face ambush, rebellion, betrayal and battle—and discover that Rome's enemies are not always wrong, nor Rome always right. For Gaius, every mile brings another lesson. Every battle carries a price. And every decision takes him further from the young man who first stood on the road and stared towards Rome. An epic tale of brotherhood, ambition and war, The Eagle's Rise begins the Legions of Honour saga—following one soldier's journey through the ranks of Rome and into the making of a legend. It is the first note in the symphony of the 'Legions of Honour' series, a melody that resonates with the spirit of adventure, the pain of loss, and the hope of redemption. Join Gaius Marius Maximus on his epic journey, where the eagle's wings spread wide to embrace a horizon filled with danger and the promise of a dawn brightened by honour and peace. "The Eagle's Rise" is a saga for the ages, a call to the brave and the bold who seek to leave their mark upon the world, not with the sword, but with the heart.
