Overview
Step into the blood-soaked corridors of power in Ancient Rome with the complete Imperial Assassin series by Alex Gough. This gripping 3-book paperback collection follows Roman scout Silus as he is drawn into the deadly rivalry between the sons of Emperor Severus. Combining meticulous historical research with pulse-pounding action, these novels are perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden's Roman adventures.

About the Books
The Imperial Assassin series opens with Emperor's Sword, in which Roman scout Silus is deep behind enemy lines in Caledonia, spying on a raiding party, when he is abruptly discovered by an enemy chief and his son, setting in motion a mission that will change the course of his life. In Emperor's Knife, Emperor Severus lies on his deathbed while his warring sons, Geta and Caracalla, feud in Britannia and ready themselves for a devastating power struggle that threatens to tear the empire apart. The trilogy reaches its explosive conclusion in Emperor's Axe, where the fate of Rome and thousands of lives rests on the shoulders of one man. After murdering his own brother and seizing the throne for himself, Caracalla orders a brutal purge of Geta's remaining supporters, and Silus must navigate treachery, loyalty and violence at the very heart of the empire. Across all three books, Alex Gough brings the Severan dynasty vividly to life, a genuinely under-explored period of Roman history rich with intrigue, betrayal and warfare. Told with pace and authenticity, this series is ideal for readers who love immersive historical fiction grounded in real events and real emperors.
