Guardian of Empire Books in Order

In AD 260, Corbulo leads a cohort against the Sasanian invasion as Rome fractures into civil war. Ordered to Palmyra, he undertakes a rescue mission toward Ctesiphon while trying to protect his men and conceal a family secret.

As Postumus claims Rome’s western provinces in AD 261, Veda finds purpose in a dangerous new assignment. His mission carries him beyond the Rhine into free Germany, where shifting loyalties threaten both his ambitions and the empire’s security.

With Rome divided in AD 261, Corbulo takes command of a newly formed cavalry unit. Invasions along the Danube and rival claimants advancing toward Italy test his soldiers, while treachery and religious tensions complicate the struggle to preserve the empire.

Three estranged brothers struggle through Rome’s crisis in AD 261, bound by a terrible shared deed. Munatius seeks refuge beyond the frontier, Veda defends his family’s farm, and Corbulo leads soldiers against the remaining eastern usurpers.
