**Episode 1 **


''The day will bring pain,'' said the Master Trainer.


No one doubted his word. He would work his cadets until at least one of them dropped to the dirt. Dropped and couldn't rise again. Earned a ticket to see the Greek.


*Someone had to be the first to fall, but shame would rain down on anyone who gave up before the young barbarian among them… *


*And Matthi the Goth was no quitter. *

Welcome to The Stone Eagle Series!


He's spent six years inside a frontier military garrison, held hostage by the same Roman legions that saved him from an innocent boyhood mistake and the savage justice of the Angel of Death.


He trains alongside highborn sons of the empire and sees his future within their ranks, but he is not a Roman citizen. He is Matthi the Goth -- a savage -- the teenage son of the only man who can unite the hostile northland barbarian clans. For some, this makes Matthi a symbol. For others, he's a powerful bartering chip.


As famine crushes Lower Moesia, barbarian kings battle Roman generals, noblemen scheme for control of the territory, and Matthi must decide who he can trust, and who he must fight, in a web of betrayal, blood and lies.
