the heirs of fortune
Six months after the events of Soldier of Raetia, the 24th is summoned on campaign with Drusus Germanicus, the stepson of Augustus who will stop at nothing to subjugate the north. After speding the winter isolated from the outside world, Dardanus and Valerian find themselves facing reality: while Valerian tries to reconcile public duty and personal feelings, Dardanus struggles with multiple roles and his admiration for two very different leaders. Drusus’ ambition will call everything Dardanus and Valerian have chosen into question, until both wonder if love is worth the risk, and what price they will have to pay.
The careful sense of fragility [Heather] works into her characters’ relationships feels very genuine. Recommended” -Historical Novel Society
