In A.D. 197, Emperor Septimius Severus led one of the largest invasion forces in Rome's history against the Parthian Empire.
Among the men of thirty-three legions is Lucius Metellus Anguis, a young man from an ancient Equestrian family. Against the wishes of his conservative father, Lucius is determined to pursue a career in the military and resurrect the glory of his family name on the battlefield rather than the marble of the Senate.
However, as in all conflicts, Lucius' ideals and his faith are challenged as he witnesses the worst in humanity.
As the imperial legions fight their way through Mesopotamia to the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon, Lucius discovers the inner strength that may well ensure that this young dragon rises from the ranks of Rome's eagles.
Can a man survive the trials of war unscathed? Do the Gods indeed favour the bold?
March to war with Rome's legions and find out!

Here is what readers have to say about Eagles and Dragons:
Historic Novel Society:
...Haviaras handles it all with smooth skill. The world of third-century Rome--both the city and its African outposts--is colorfully vivid here, and Haviaras manages to invest even his secondary and tertiary characters with believable, three-dimensional humanity.
Amazon Readers:
Historical fiction at its best! ... if you like your historical fiction to be an education as well as a fun read, this is the book for you!
An outstanding and compelling novel!
I would add this author to some of the great historical writers such as Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell. The characters were described in such a way that it was easy to picture them as if they were real and have lived in the past, the book flowed with an ease that any reader, novice to advanced can enjoy and become fully immersed...
Goodreads:
... a very entertaining read; Haviaras has both a fluid writing style, and a good eye for historical detail, and explores in far more detail the faith of the average Roman than do most authors.
Epinions:
Well written historical drama with an eye for detail... I can't wait for the next book... Killing the Hydra. There is so much more misery and mischief to puzzle and vex our worthy Metellus.
