Summary

For one to rule, the other must die.

AD 312 is a year of horrific and brutal warfare. Constantine's northern army is a small force, plagued by religious rivalries, but seemingly unstoppable as they invade Maxentius's Italian heartlands. These relentless clashes, incidents of treachery and twists of fortune, see Maxentius' armies driven back to Rome.

Constantine has his prize in sight, yet his army is diminished and on the verge of revolt. Maxentius meanwhile works to calm a restive and dissenting Roman populace. When the two forces clash in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, there are factors at work beyond their control and soon they are left with carnage.

There is only one way Constantine and Maxentius' rivalry will end. With one on a bloodied sword and the other the sole ruler of Rome....

Really related to Maxentius. Was such a shame. Brilliant alternating chapters. Thoroughly enjoyable listen. A lot of twists.

Wish Maxentius won

Absolutely gutted that I’ve finished this series. Loved how it was written and the narration was spot one too. Hope you’re planning on doing more like this 😁

Phenomenal series. Truly epic

The trilogy is an absolute must if you are interested even vaguely in the time period. It really brings out the drama and calamity that was this period of Rome’s history.

Written by each writer the main characters couldn’t be so different but so alike. It really is a brilliant way of writing done impeccably by the authors. Although I found myself rooting for Constantine (actual history knowledge aside) Maxentius charter made me laugh all the way through with diary humour and witty remarks. Constantine is every bit the Roman soldier and you feel bursts of soldiery nostalgia through the way he is written.

Jonathan Keeble absolutely smashes his performance, but I have come to expect nothing less from him! Fans of the Black library books will love these books just got his voice acting alone!

10/10 would read all three of these book over and over!

Simply brilliant!

Great climax to the trilogy, exactly what I expect but I'm not complaining. well executed and good fun, as well as interning. Very military oriented this last one.

All three marked areas have been superb
The only regret is finding a book that can compare
I cannot rate all three books higher
