Warrior Of Rome: Fire In The East, Part I – Harry Sidebottom

Description

Fire in the East is the first book in the Warrior of Rome series, introducing readers to Ballista, a formidable warrior whose name is synonymous with war. Set in AD 255, the Roman Empire is under siege on multiple fronts, with its greatest threat rising in the East. The powerful Sassanid Empire gathers its forces, preparing to strike the remote Roman stronghold of Arete. As invasion looms, Ballista is sent to take command, tasked with rallying demoralised troops and fortifying crumbling defences against overwhelming odds.

What follows is an epic tale of strategy, loyalty, and brutal combat, where treachery can be as deadly as the enemy’s armies. Rich in historical detail, Fire in the East captures the grit and glory of Rome’s frontier warfare, blending political intrigue with vivid, high-stakes battle scenes. As the opening chapter of the Warrior of Rome saga, it lays the foundation for a series steeped in action, drama, and the harsh realities of imperial survival.

Fire in the East is a must-read for fans of immersive historical fiction who relish gripping battle narratives and the tension of defending Rome’s farthest borders.
