Discover the iconic, bestselling Empire series today, beloved by readers around the world 'Totally, utterly enthralling' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Riches is just as good as Bernard Cornwell' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A breathtaking saga' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'In Roman military fiction, Riches is at the top of the pyramid' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Fresh, unpredictable, fascinating and exciting' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MEET MARCUS VALERIUS, THE LEGENDARY HERO. 'A master of the genre' The Times Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run for his life - condemned to dishonourable death by power-crazed emperor Commodus. The plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall and lie low until he can hope for justice. Then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal, violent war. Thrilling, authentic and action-packed, Wounds of Honour launched the incredible EMPIRE series, and catapulted Anthony Riches to the very top of the historical adventure genre.
