Clay Warrior Stories takes you into the chaos of the 1st Punic War and drops you in the middle of important events. Together with Alerio Sisera, you will bleed and collect scars as you fight for your county, your Gods, and your survival.
This is the Mid-Republic seasonal Legion, not the fulltime Imperial war machine, and it is messy.
Welcome to 271 - 265 B.C.
#1 Clay Legionary - 271 thru 267 B.C.
These are the adventures of Alerio Sisera whose journey takes him from an undersized farm lad to a Legion recruit, with a price on his head. Legionary Sisera is shrewd, tenacious, and a talented swordsman. In each of the three books in this boxset, Alerio will need all of his skills and blessings from the Gods to survive.
#2 Spilled Blood – 266 B.C.
Alerio’s adventures continue in Spilled Blood. Our young Lance Corporal will be tested by traitors, street gangs, and the city guard. Resolutions in the Capital take many forms. For Alerio Sisera, it’s a gladius and spilled blood.
#3 Bloody Water – 265 B.C.
In Bloody Water, Lance Corporal Sisera’s finds himself at a besieged harbor garrison and reinforcements are not coming. It’s up to Alerio to battle with his gladius while standing in bloody water.
Clay Warrior Stories are tales of surviving during the tumultuous Roman Republic era.
This was not a world dominated by a wealthy Empire with far flung numbered Legions, professional Generals, and Legionaries fighting on distant shores. In the 260’s B.C., two types of Legions kept the law; Those in garrisons around the country and those formed under a Consul/General to react to a threat
Italy was mostly settled by Rome north to the Tuscany region. Beyond there, the territory was disputed by barbarians. To the south, at the tip of the peninsula, other than a few instances of garrisons turning on the citizens, the land was under control. Across the Messina Strait, Sicilia was a political and bloody battleground between Carthage and Syracuse. In the east, it had only been four or more years since many of the cities were brought into the Roman Republic.
Boxset #1 contains Clay Legionary, Spilled Blood, and Bloody, the first three book in the Clay Warrior Stories series.
The Clay Warrior Stories are deeply researched historical fiction combined with high adventure. There are no dragons, wizards, or magic spells. Just blades and men skilled in the art of war, living in a time when empires clashed. An era when death rode on the edge of sharp steel and only the lucky or the good walked away from a fight.
I write military adventure both future and ancient
