Birds of Prey

The Borderlands - Book 3

By: Damion Hunter

Narrated by: Sam Stafford

In West Britain, King Loarn of the Silures tribe leads a rebellion against their weakened Roman occupiers. Caught in the middle is Faustus, a Roman soldier with maternal ties to the Silures, trapped between loyalty to the army and compassion for his kin.

A fragile peace teeters on the brink as a sudden tragedy threatens to escalate tensions, fracturing the relationship between him and his sister Silvia.

With a great, final conflict on the horizon and with Silvia potentially the key to it all, Faustus struggles with his dual identity and inner demons, questioning the possibility of ever achieving peace.

But what peace is even possible, for a bird of prey?

A beautifully presented Ancient Roman epic of familial strife, ruthless battles, and fierce love, perfect for fans of Manda Scott, Rosemary Sutcliff and Bernard Cornwell.

Amanda Cockrell, writing as Damion Hunter, is the author of seven previous Roman novels: the four-volume series ´The Centurions´. She grew up in Ojai, California, and became fascinated with the Romans when a college friend gave her Rosemary Sutcliff’s books to read.

An engaging story of Rome in ancient Britain.

The Borderlands is a another fantastic series by Damion Hunter. The story is exciting, dramatic and full of historical detail. The characters are well realized and memorable. I was sorry that it seems there will not be a fourth book to follow. There are both men and women who play significant parts in the he story and so "Birds of Prey" will appeal to anyone who enjoys well written historical fiction based in Roman Britain.
