The Death of Kings

Conn Iggulden is a popular British author of historical novels. He’s written cycles including “Emperor,” covering the era of Julius Caesar’s rule, “Genghis Khan. Chronicles of the Conqueror,” “The Greek Wars,” and “War of the Roses.” In the novel “Fall of Kings,” young Gaius and Mark train in the art of combat under the guidance of one of Rome’s most formidable gladiators. Their conflict of irreconcilable rivals—Marius and Sulla—drags the state toward civil war, because the victor will gain incredible power… Gaius and Mark are forced onto different paths, and by the time they meet again, everything will be different. A fierce conflict in which a Roman raises his weapon against another Roman will put their friendship to the ultimate test.
