One man stands against the might of the Roman Empire. His name is Caradoc.

The British army is shattered, defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by subterfuge and betrayal. Caradoc flees the battlefield, the crown heavy on his head and his heart set on retribution. He has to make hard decisions and tough compromises, but with the sovereignty of Britain at stake, personal pride sometimes has to take second place.

Emperor Claudius is determined to make as much political mileage as possible out of the Roman victory in an attempt to consolidate his own position. That does not sit well with the Roman military, who have their own objectives and who will do whatever it takes to achieve them.

As the Romans consolidate their gains and begin to push west, Caradoc finds he has few friends left. So he must turn to the Durotriges, a wild, hill fort dwelling tribe. But the Durotriges are riven by strife and petty squabbles.

Aulus Plautius, commander of the Roman army, brings his siege weapons to bear, can Caradoc resist the onslaught?

What Readers Say

'The perfect blend of historical accuracy and modern pace.'

'A cracking story with totally believable interwoven characters all backed with considerable research. Roll on the sequel!'

'Historically accurate, believable, engaging and enlightening. The attention to detail in the creation of the characters and environment is comparable to Patrick O'Brian.'

'Keith Nixon has done a fine job to weave several sub plots into this at times brutal Roman invasion thriller. I enjoyed The Eagle's Shadow immensely.'

'Plenty of action and a story line that keeps you reading even when you want to put the book down.'

'Wow - action packed from start to end. I enjoyed every minute of it – really interesting, informative , great characters and I loved the social impact of the invasion.'

'The Eagle's Shadow has the trademark Nixon driving narrative, crackling dialogue and vivid characterisation, backed by a formidable depth of research that brings this exciting period in British history to life.'
