Disowned by Rome
Book 1 of The Violent Path series
By a young age, Rivus Caudex had suffered rejection, heartbreak, loss, disrespect, and hunger. The lad's trials were shaping his character while providing him with deadly skills and harsh lessons.
In addition to his life experiences, there were two defining influences. The Roman God Orcus. Orcus - the god who punished oath breakers by dragging them to the underworld where he tortured them. And Cor Livis, a philosopher-warrior, who saw value in the troubled youth.
Disowned by Rome is a historical adventure book based around the happenings of 446 B.C. through 435 B.C. as recorded by Roman Historian Livy.
Written by noted historical fiction author J. Clifton Slater, Disowned by Rome takes you into the city-state of Rome. From harsh family traditions, to the legion as a simple militia, to an enemy fortress just five miles from Rome, you'll experience the early history of the eternal city.
