Rome, 400 BCE. A young soldier is about to discover that victory can create enemies of its own.
A prophecy has foretold greatness, but Marcus Furius is not the only man who believes that destiny should belong to him.
As Rome's enemies threaten her borders, Marcus goes to war and discovers an unexpected ability to lead men. On the battlefield, courage brings him victories, respect and the loyalty of those who fight beside him.
But success comes at a price.
Jealousy grows among those above him. Rivalries become dangerous, friendships are tested, and Marcus learns that the enemies standing beside him may prove every bit as dangerous as those facing him across the battlefield.
To survive, he must learn more than how to fight. He must master the politics of Rome, protect his family and his honour, and decide what kind of man he intends to become.
This is where the story of Marcus Furius Camillus begins — soldier, statesman and the man who would one day be called upon to save Rome itself.
Dawn of the Eagle is the first novel in the six-book Camillus — Dictator of Rome series.
