About this ebook series

A REBEL AGAINST ROME

Simon of Gitta, an escaped slave turned magician, roves the Roman Empire battling dark magic and demons, all the while pursued by Caesar’s soldiers. Join Simon as he flees across the ancient world from Egypt to Britannia evading cultists and Legionaries, outwitting sorcerers and Centurions, and fighting gladiators and gods, even the otherworldly deities of the Cthulhu Mythos. Yet all these foes cannot prepare him for his greatest challenge: the pursuit of his lost soul-mate Helen, a love so deep even death can’t stand in its way for long.


If you like historical fantasy mixed with sword & sorcery and a twist of Lovecraftian horror, then you'll enjoy the Simon of Gitta Chronicles.


The first book, Sorcery Against Caesar, contains 16 short stories. All other books are complete novels.

The third book, Heir of Darkness, is set in the same universe, but features different characters.
