THE FALLEN EAGLE: 2

Britannia has fallen. Now Rome must survive.The frontier is gone.Across the frozen Channel, refugee ships emerge from the fog, carrying the last survivors of Britannia-and something far worse. As desperate families flood into Gaul, Rome's ports become quarantine camps, its harbors fill with ash, and every arriving vessel brings the Empire closer to collapse.Centurion Marcus Varro has survived the nightmare in Britannia, but no battlefield has prepared him for what awaits on the mainland. Cities drown beneath waves of refugees. Disease spreads faster than fear. Officials count the living while burning the dead. And behind every desperate decision lies a terrifying question: How much of Rome must be sacrificed to save the Empire?As imperial administrators tighten their grip through censorship, quarantines, and ruthless bureaucracy, Marcus discovers that the greatest threat may no longer be the infected-but the desperate measures taken in the name of survival.With civilization hanging by a thread, the line between order and tyranny begins to disappear.Because sometimes an empire does not fall to its enemies.Sometimes it falls trying to save itself.The Fallen Eagle is the second novel in The Black Frontier, an epic historical horror series that combines the military realism of the late Roman Empire with relentless suspense, political intrigue, and the terror of a civilization facing extinction.
