Empire - Wounds Of Honour

Empire: Wounds of Honour (2010) by Anthony Riches
Published by Hodder | Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the bloodied sandals of the Roman frontier in Empire: Wounds of Honour, the gripping first instalment in Anthony Riches’ brutal and breathless historical fiction series.

Marcus Valerius Aquila was born a Roman noble—but treachery at the heart of the Empire has left him fleeing for his life. Stripped of his name and hunted by the Emperor’s assassins, he finds unexpected refuge in the remote wilds of Britannia, where the legions are tough, the locals tougher, and survival demands more than noble breeding.

Taking up arms under a false identity, Marcus is thrown into a savage world of frontier warfare, political scheming, and hard-bitten comrades who don’t take kindly to privileged outsiders. But as enemies close in from all sides, Marcus will need to fight not just for Rome, but for revenge, redemption, and something resembling honour.

Cracked spines, foxed pages, and all the character you’d expect—Crappy Old Books brings you this raw, battle-worn paperback that’s already seen more action than your average centurion. A must-have for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, and anyone who likes their heroes dirty, desperate, and dangerously good at stabbing people.

Near new condition.
