Warrior King Legacy

If you like historical fiction and you’re interested in ancient Gaul, then Warrior King Legacy is a must read for you!

A breathtaking debut novel from Anthony Hogger

The ancient tribes of Gaul are in turmoil: Rome is encroaching on her lands, her townships, her way of life.

Only one tribe has the nerve to stand up to the threat, the Arverni, led by King Celtillus. But, when he is murdered, it is left to his 19-year-old son, Vercingetorix, to unite the tribes into one great army.

Warrior King Legacy is the story of a young man desperate to fulfil a legacy. From the ordeal of his birth, to growing up in a brutal world where only the very strongest will prevail, to the siege of Alesia and beyond. It is a story of courage, of love, of vengeance, and of tragedy.

˃˃˃ Praise for Warrior King Legacy

It’s an interesting life, being an editor. You get to read people’s work, long before the general public ever see it. Sometimes, it’s your job to tell an author the work is not ready for the general public yet, sometimes you enjoy a book and suggest tweaks that could make it work more effectively. And then, just occasionally, you get to read a book that makes you want to start a publishing company, just so you can get more people to read it.

Anthony Hogger’s Warrior King Legacy.

The book is a historical fiction masterpiece, telling the story of Vercingetorix, King of the Gauls in the time of the expansion of the Roman Empire. Warrior King Legacy blends a story of fathers and sons and the expectation of greatness thrust on a child with philosophical concerns of relevance even today. What do you do if the greatest superpower in the world wants to take your land, your resources, your way of life? Vercingetorix chose a destiny in opposition to the might of Rome, and forged the disparate and distrusting tribes of Gaul into a single, unified nation, then pitted his skills against the armies of the Empire.

The armies lead by Julius Caesar.

Warrior King Legacy is a book so good that we at Jefferson Franklin read it twice during the editing stage and immediately bought it for the pleasure of reading it again when it was released.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrill ride from start to finish 30 Aug 2014

Finished it on the tube on Friday and started to read it again immediately! In the course of reading it the first time I went past my stop three times. It's truly gripping. The first word that comes to mind is visceral: the battles, the banquets, the sex - they're visceral. They're graphic, stomach churning, extreme, violent, kick you in the arse, grab you by the nuts visceral. Perfect for the journey to and from work.

That's not all. You'll love this book if you're even remotely interested in history, especially Roman and Gallic: it's evocative, realistic, educational even. It gets deep inside the characters so that we start to fall in love and have empathy with them and then, pow! Their insides and yours too are ripped out. It was a bummer to be female in those days, for one character, literally.

The language is a joy. If only my favourite lines could be quoted here but they'd be censored. I fear even 'arse' will be. I would not enjoy being on the receiving end of some of the threats and poetic indignities of Vercingetorix and his ilk but I look forward to dealing them out. Be on your guard, the next person who even THINKS of crossing me!
