The Parthian Chronicles Books in Order

Captured while fighting Rome, Parthian warrior Pacorus is taken to Italy in chains and freed by Spartacus's escaped gladiators. He joins their rebellion, testing his honor and loyalty as Roman forces close in on the growing slave army.

Returning from Spartacus's defeated rebellion, Pacorus becomes king of Dura and marries Gallia. Discontent at home, hostile desert neighbors, and a succession crisis draw him into civil war just as Rome exploits Parthia's divisions.

A murder breaks Parthia's uneasy peace and sends Pacorus east against Mithridates and Narses. Expecting a short campaign, he discovers enemies prepared for a prolonged war that will determine who controls the empire.

Exhausted by civil war, Parthia faces an Armenian invasion while Roman commander Crassus advances from the west. Pacorus must rally Dura's forces for a confrontation at Carrhae that could decide the future of both empires.

Pacorus learns that one companion from Spartacus's rebellion was left behind in Roman slavery. Gathering trusted comrades, he sets out to find and free the missing man, following a dangerous trail toward the gladiatorial games at Ephesus.

Years after Carrhae, Pacorus's hopes of lasting peace end when Mark Antony invades Parthia. Initially rejected by the high king, Dura's veteran army becomes essential as mounting defeats threaten the empire and Pacorus's own family.

King Spartacus of Gordyene steals temple gold to equip his troops, provoking enemies and entangling his family in a dangerous conflict. Military success offers power, but warnings about the kingdom's divine restrictions threaten everything he values.

Pacorus travels east for his daughter's wedding, expecting celebration after the defeat of Mark Antony. Old rivalries and an emerging power beyond the Indus instead draw him into another struggle to preserve a divided Parthian Empire.

A birthday gathering at Dura gives way to renewed conflict as a threat from the east destabilizes Parthia. With friendships lost and old enemies becoming allies, Pacorus must confront a rebel coalition challenging the ruler he supports.

Pacorus turns from warfare to farming and irrigation, hoping Dura's prosperity will finally let him retire. Enemies seeking revenge undermine that peace, forcing him north into a campaign where military victory may carry a devastating personal cost.

Peace returns to Parthia, but a crisis in Media draws Pacorus and Gallia away from Dura with only a small force. Saving its new king may be the only way to prevent another destructive regional war.

Retired from imperial politics, Pacorus undertakes a personal journey while Gallia's covert campaign produces unexpected consequences. A northern invasion soon forces him back into command, with unreliable allies and an aging reputation complicating Parthia's defense.

After surviving danger in the north, Pacorus welcomes his return to Dura, but Gallia wants revenge. Her use of assassins and secret allies sets off consequences that threaten the kingdom, the empire, and an unsuspecting farmer.

Thirty years after Carrhae, Pacorus oversees an exchange of captured Roman standards for a royal hostage. A permanent peace seems possible, but Tiberius's ambitions and troubling signs threaten to turn diplomacy into another confrontation.

Dura prospers within a newly secure Parthian Empire until elusive desert attackers begin strangling its economy. Facing his kingdom's decline, Pacorus leads an expedition to confront the mysterious Chosen One and force a decisive battle.

With his family flourishing and Parthia secure, Pacorus expects his lifetime of service to be nearly complete. An extraordinary opportunity instead sends him into one final adventure against an enemy threatening everything he has defended.
