    Summary

    Marcus saw a kindred spirit when he first locked eyes with Esca at the coliseum. He never saw a slave. He saw a man; he saw himself ... so why did it take him so bloody long to free him? What would have happened if Marcus had freed Esca before they set out north of the wall? Will Esca go with him? Will he run? Will he slit his throat? Inspired by the film and novel.

    Summary

    The death of his father and the destruction of the Ninth haunted Marcus Aquilla all his life. From the moment he and his mother received news of Gaius's death people began blaming his father for losing an entire legion of men. They called him a drunk, incompetent.
    The word that stung the most was coward.
    So, on his nineteenth birthday Marcus signed up as a Centurion and asked to be posted to Britain where he planned to win back the glory and reputation his family lost.
    He was sent to the Kingdom of Cornwall to command a small fort, something he excelled at....
    Then the Druid appeared, stirring up the Cornish against the Romans, forcing Marcus to act.

    Summary

    Britain, the last place in the whole empire Gaius Flavius Aquilla wanted to end up. After all his years of faithful service, Britain was what he received in return.
    A backwater compared to other provinces, a frontier still waiting to be properly tamed, and he was being sent there.
    Despite his personal feelings, being the professional he was, Aquilla did not complain and sailed from Gaul promptly, linking up with his second in command, Titus Virlius soon afterwards.
    And almost immediately he is forced to march into the hornet's nest, receiving orders to go into the Scottish Highlands and root out Pictish rebels.

    Summary

    After a less-than-pleasant break up with his long term partner, Liathan, Esca decides he needs a change of scenery. On a whim, he purchases a horse ranch in rural Tennessee, hoping to start anew and pursue his life-long passion for horses. Esca longs for time to devote solely to himself, a place to think, and as much distance between him and the awful memories he left behind in England. What he doesn't expect is the overly-friendly and overly-handsome farrier, Marcus, for whom - despite his best efforts - Esca can't help but fall.

    Summary

    Esca served the one who saved him (as much from himself as from the arena), and swallowed his pride to look after the Centurion’s wounds. At first, he didn’t know how to act around his new master, who refused to treat him like the slave he was, and instead looked at him with the eyes of one regarding an equal. His stiffness slowly melted away into respect and, eventually, fellowship.

    He just didn’t expect to love, and to be loved, again.

    Summary

    The truth was that from the beginning Cottia had wanted desperately for Esca to like her. He was British, a Brigantes warrior of the blue war shields, and she wanted him to see the Britishness in her; she was afraid of what it would mean if he didn’t.

    Summary

    Marcus had told her about the land, their house—small but well-made, and easy to add to should the need arise—his plans. They had not spoken of the wedding, which both of them cared little for, but only of the life that would come after. And in all their plans, Esca was there too, as she had known he would be.

    Summary

    Andy had called Nile “kid,” so she’d expected all the others to look, and be, much older than her. She hadn’t expected two of the men to look like some of the youngest Marine recruits she’d served with, the ones who enlisted the day they turned eighteen.

    Nile meets her new immortal family: a French soldier, two warriors from the Crusades, a Roman soldier, a gladiator, and a woman who doesn't even remember her age.

    (A crossover of The Old Guard movie and The Eagle of the Ninth book)

    Summary

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it in one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again from your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss...
