Out today - Legionary: The Emperor's Shield by Gordon Doherty

Today sees the publication in hardcover, paperback and kindle formats of the ninth book in Gordon Doherty's popular Legionary series, called The Emperor's Shield.

The Emperor's Shield (Legionary series: book 9 of 9)

Easier to split the sky, than part a soldier from his blade.

386 AD. The Eastern Roman Empire faces a trident of threats. The Gothic truce grows unstable. The standoff with Persia escalates. And the ambitions of the usurper on the Western throne grow dangerously unchecked. Pavo, a broken veteran of the legions, cares for none of these things. His life is one of pastoral seclusion on his Thracian farm. A life of love, of peace. His wife and young son are his world. Still, every so often, things seen and done in his old life haunt him, like a cold and unwelcome breeze. But that is all they are, echoes of the past…

…until the past rises, like a shade, to rip his world and the Roman Empire apart.
