The Tintagel Cycle Books
Book 1 – Tintagel Cycle: The Blood of Kings
This novel tells the story of Flavius Magnus Maximus who rises from the ranks of Rome’s legions to become the High King of Britannia after his marriage to the daughter of one of the British tribal kings. It is story behind the Legend of Macsen Wledig, a prophecy that comes to fruition when Maximus takes a combined Romano-British army into Gaul to usurp the might of Rome. He meets with some success and eventually becomes the co-emperor of the Western Roman Empire.
Book 2 – Tintagel Cycle: The Poisoned Throne
This novel tells the story of Constantinus, a Roman centurion, who marries Severa, the daughter of the late Maximus.

He is successful initially and declares himself as the co-emperor, Constantine III, but, as with Maximus, he will be defeated by his own hubris.
