    About this series

    A FOE MORE FEARSOME THAN ROMANS! 

    Simon of Gitta has journeyed to ancient Britannia to learn from the island's druids. There, he hears dark rumors of dragons rampaging across the countryside, smashing and scorching… but these are only rumors. A more pressing crisis arises when the Romans invade Britannia—again. 

    At the Battle of the Medway River, the Britons manage to rout the Roman army, but at an enormous cost when their king is slain. Now the young new High King Pendragon must quickly secure his throne and defend his kingdom. 

    Suddenly, at a secretive meeting of the Raven Druid and Eagle Druid colleges, the druids are slaughtered to the last man, trampled and burned, and the locals swear dragons are to blame. Alarmed, the High King sends the Merlin Druids (including Simon) to investigate—but, while an active war rages, he can only spare a handful of brave warriors to accompany them. 

    Slowly, these impromptu investigators unravel a secret, complex conspiracy of Picts and Romans, rogue druids, and secret cults to unleash fiery spirit dragons on an unsuspecting country. With time quickly running out and the fate of all Britannia at stake, can a mere handful of druids and soldiers overcome such formidable enemies to thwart the nefarious plot unfolding around them? Or will Britannia burn? 

    Dive into a world of ancient lore and mythical monsters in an epic adventure that will captivate readers to the last page.

      A REBEL AGAINST ROME   Simon of Gitta, an escaped slave turned magician, roves the Roman Empire battling dark magic and demons, all the while pursued by Caesar's soldiers. Join Simon as he flees across the ancient world evading cultists and Legionaries, outwitting sorcerers and Centurions, and fighting gladiators and gods, even the deities of the Cthulhu Mythos. Yet all these foes cannot prepare him for his greatest challenge: the pursuit of his lost soul-mate Helen, a love so deep even death can't stand in its way for long.   These stories were one of the inspirations for the Cthulhu Invictus campaign for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game by Chaosium. Enjoy sixteen stories combining superbly researched historical fiction with sword & sorcery and Lovecraftian horror, including: The Sword of Spartacus The Fire of Mazda The Seed of the Star-God The Blade of the Slayer The Throne of Achamoth The Emerald Tablet The Soul of Kephri The Ring of Set The Worm of Urakhu The Curse of the Crocodile The Treasure of Horemkhu The Secret of Nephren-Ka The Scroll of Thoth The Dragons of Mons Fractus The Wedding of Sheila-Na-Gog The Pillars of Melkarth Vengence Quest (poetry)

      CAN A HANDFUL OF HEROES STOP AN APOCALYPSE CENTURIES IN THE MAKING?   Escaped gladiator-slave Simon of Gitta returns to Judea — during the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth — on a mission to avenge the deaths of his parents, seeking revenge in blood against the Roman officials who committed the murders and sold Simon into slavery.   But as Simon travels the Holy Lands with his mentor Dositheus and their students Menander and llione, they gradually become entangled in a complex occult plot designed to call down a monstrous alien entity to herald a new aeon on Earth. The mysterious time traveler John Taggart (from Tierney's The Winds of Zarr) also becomes involved with Simon as their separate quests converge toward a common goal of saving all life on Earth from extinction.   But can a handful of travelers really thwart a covert scheme backed by the power of the Roman Empire?  As the apocalyptic supernatural events slowly unfold, Simon and his allies are in a race against time to prevent the devastation of the world.   Using mystery cults and early Christian Gnosticism as his vehicle, with meticulously researched Roman history and Biblical scholarship, this is author Richard Tierney's magnum opus: an epic Lovecraftian alternate history dark fantasy novel that features Tierney's most famous characters, Simon of Gitta and John Taggart.  This novel will appeal to fans of historical fantasy and sword & sorcery fiction in the vein of Robert E. Howard, and the elements of cosmic horror and the Cthulhu Mythos will satisfy many fans of H.P. Lovecraft.
