When a brutal Saxon invasion shatters the fragile peace of post-Roman Britannia, a conflicted Roman proconsul, Quintus Aurelius, must unite the island's feuding warlords and embrace an ancient, dangerous prophecy before a rising dark age consumes his homeland forever.
The legions have departed. The empire is a fading ghost. And Britannia is bleeding.
For years, the fracturing shores of Britannia have relied on the fading shadow of Rome's protection. But when raiders from the Rhine mouth launch devastating surprise assaults upon the southern coasts, the illusion of safety is brutally torn away.
Enter Quintus Aurelius, a battle-hardened commander, torn between his imperial training and his fierce devotion to the soil of Britannia. As the fierce Saxon hordes breach the clifftops and the island's native chiefs let their own petty rivalries blind them to the slaughter, he is forced to take up a desperate mantle.
To survive the coming dark, he cannot rely on steel alone. He must navigate a dangerous web of political betrayal, master a hidden network of shadow espionage, and unlock a terrifying ancestral dragon prophecy bound to an ancient cauldron of power, which he must leave as a legacy to his son.
The embers of the old world are dying. A new era must be forged in blood.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles and Conn Iggulden, The Cauldron's Heir is the visceral, action-packed first instalment of Chronicles of the Dragon's Legacy. Step into a world of shield walls, ancient destinies, and the gritty, untold origins of Dark Age Britain.
