A Blade for Caesar #1016840

He escaped slavery. Now Rome’s most dangerous men want to own his future.
Once a twenty-first-century American, Calabis has fought his way into a Roman name, a fortune, and a place among men who shape history. But freedom in the Republic comes with obligations—and every powerful friend expects repayment.
Pompey is dividing kingdoms. Crassus is buying influence. Caesar needs money, soldiers, and someone willing to do what respectable Romans cannot afford to be seen doing.
Calabis intends to make himself indispensable.
From the pirate-haunted Black Sea to the mountains of Hispania, he bargains with queens, recruits warriors, and builds an army from men Rome would rather exploit than reward. In the capital, trials and marriage alliances can be deadlier than an ambush. In Gaul, Caesar’s ambitions will demand blood.
Calabis knows where history is supposed to lead. He also knows he has already changed it. His memories can no longer guarantee victory—or tell him which ally will become his executioner.
To protect his family and secure his command, he must help Caesar rise without becoming expendable.
Caesar needs a blade. Calabis intends to keep his hand on the hilt.
A Blade for Caesar is Book Two of Reborn in Rome, an alternate-history adventure of political intrigue, military ambition, and an American mind fighting for a future in the dying Roman Republic.
