The Gascon: The Marshal Jean Lannes Saga Book One The revolution forged him. The empire will break him. France, 1777. Jean Lannes is a dyer's son from Gascony with the soul of a soldier and the temper of a storm. Years later, when war ignites across Europe, he rises from the mud of the Pyrenees to the battlefields of Italy—fighting not for kings or riches, but for the idea of a nation reborn. At the bridge of Arcole, he meets a fellow outsider destined for glory: a wiry Corsican officer named Napoleon Bonaparte. Together they carve victory from chaos, brothers in arms bound by blood and ambition. But as the Republic gives way to empire, Lannes begins to see the shadow behind the brilliance—the price of loyalty, the death of liberty, and the crown rising from France's bones. From the storm of revolution to the birth of tyranny, The Gascon follows one man's journey from peasant to general, from patriot to legend. Rich in battle, romance, and moral reckoning, it's the story of a friendship that shaped history—and a soldier who refused to bow. Perfect for readers of Bernard Cornwell, Ken Follett, and Simon Scarrow, The Gascon is the unforgettable first novel in The Marshal Jean Lannes Saga**—a sweeping tale of courage, ambition, and betrayal in the age of Napoleon.**
