Overview:
Step into the heart of a sprawling Roman world with this three-book collection from Simon Scarrow’s Eagles of the Empire. Spanning the late Republic’s aftershocks to the brink of empire-wide conflict, the trio follows the seasoned duo Cato and Macro as they navigate treacherous politics, brutal frontier warfare, and the human cost of power. The Emperor's Exile finds them escorting Nero’s banished mistress to Sardinia, where factional plotting, plague, and insurgency threaten to upend authority and fate. In Traitors of Rome, suspicion fractures loyalty as a covert enemy threads a noose around the Legion, forcing Cato and Macro to hunt for truth before treachery destroys the army from within. Blood of Rome casts them east to Armenia, where Corbulo rebuilds a worn-torn unit while Parthian ambitions loom and Rhadamistus’s brutality sparks a dangerous uprising. Three tightly wound narratives come together to deliver a seamless, immersive reading experience that blends history, strategy, and character-driven drama. Ideal for history lovers, military fiction fans, and anyone craving a gripping, page-turning epic, this paperback collection invites both newcomers and seasoned readers to lose themselves in the Rome-based adventures of Cato and Macro.

What Makes This Collection Special:

Readers watch their camaraderie deepen under pressure, experience the psychological weight of command, and witness how loyalty, courage, and quick thinking can alter the course of history. The collection captures a broad sweep of Roman life—from court intrigue and political maneuvering to the grit of marching bands, siege, and battlefield decisions. Each title stands on its own, yet the momentum from Exile to Blood of Rome creates an irresistible binge-read experience. Collectors will appreciate the consistent presentation and the convenient, single-purchase access to three complete adventures, while gift buyers gain a formidable boxed-esque collection feel with standout shelf presence in paperback format.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Emperor's Exile
The Emperor's Exile follows Cato and Macro as they bear the burdens of a fractured command and a Rome where Nero’s court politics threaten to spill into the provinces. Banished from the center of power, they escort a high-stakes passenger to Sardinia, confronting a spreading plague, tense loyalties, and a volatile insurgency. Scarrow's vivid military detail and brisk plotting bring the island’s simmering danger to life, offering a sharp blend of action and political tension that will satisfy fans of military adventure and Roman history alike. This installment sets the tone for the collection, emphasizing leadership under pressure and the fragile balance between duty and politics.

Traitors of Rome
Traitors of Rome tightens the screws on loyalty as an unseen traitor tests the cohesion of the Legion and the safety of Rome itself. Cato and Macro race to uncover treachery before the empire’s defenses crumble, while external threats from beyond the border watch and wait. The novel balances investigative intrigue with high-stakes warfare, delivering suspenseful pacing and credible military strategy. Readers will relish the sense of immediacy as every clue could shift the balance of power in an empire already teetering on the edge.

Blood of Rome
Blood of Rome transports readers east to Armenia, where Parthian ambitions collide with Roman resolve. Corbulo must restore a loyal king to power and ready troops for looming war, even as Rhadamistus’s brutality fuels an uprising that strains the army’s mettle. Cato and Macro arrive to reinforce, improvise, and lead with the practical intelligence of veteran soldiers. The narrative culminates in intense combat sequences and hard-won victories that underscore the human cost of empire and the enduring bond between two soldiers who survive together on a dangerous frontier.
