Con magistral precisión histórica y un excelente ritmo narrativo, Santiago Posteguillo presenta la historia de la infancia y juventud de Africanus, uno de los personajes más influyentes de Occidente en esta edición estuche de lujo con la trilogía completa.

Africanus

A finales del siglo III a.C. Roma está a punto de ser aniquilada por los ejércitos cartagineses al mando de uno de los mejores estrategas militares de todos los tiempos: Aníbal. Su alianza con Filipo V de Macedonia, que pretendía la aniquilación de Roma como estado y el reparto del mundo conocido entre Cartago y Macedonia, constituía una fuerza imparable que podría haber cambiado para siempre la historia de Occidente.

Pocos años antes del estallido del conflicto, nació un niño llamado a realizar grandes proezas: Publio Cornelio Escipión, hijo del cónsul de Roma durante el primer año de la guerra. Ya joven oficial, iniciaría un difícil camino, sorteando obstáculos y buscando alianzas imposibles. Sus hazañas le valieron el sobrenombre de Africanus, en alusión a uno de los territorios que conquistó.

Las legiones malditas

Publio Cornelio Escipión, que pasaría a la historia con el sobrenombre de Africanus, solo tenía veintiséis años cuando aceptó comandar las tropas romanas en Hispania. Heredero de las cualidades militares de su padre y su tío, el joven Escipión también había heredado algunos de sus feroces enemigos, como Asdrúbal, el hermano de Aníbal, o el gran púnico Giscón, quienes planeaban derrotar a su ejército en el campo de batalla.

Sus opositores lo acechaban asimismo en el Senado de Roma, donde el todopoderoso Quinto Fabio Máximo, acérrimo enemigo de los Escipión, logró forzarlo, una vez concluida la campaña en Hispania, a aceptar la tarea de liderar las legiones V y VI. Eran estas unas legiones malditas, constituidas por los soldados supervivientes de Cannae, la más humillante derrota de Roma ante Aníbal. En el exilio en Sicilia, las legiones habían perdido el sentido del deber, la disciplina y toda esperanza de regresar a la patria. Con esta maniobra, Quinto Fabio Máximo creía abocar al último Escipión a una muerte segura. Lo que no podía prever era que el joven militar y sus legiones malditas estaban llamados a cambiar el curso de la historia.

La traición de Roma

En la última novela de la trilogía de Roma Santiago Posteguillo nos narra el épico final de la vida de dos de los personajes más legendarios de la historia: Escipión y Aníbal. Tras la batalla de Zama, los eternos enemigos vuelven a encontrarse en medio de la vorágine de la guerra de Asia.

Pero La traición de Roma es también la historia del hijo de Escipión, que lucha por estar a la altura de un padre inalcanzable; la de la joven Cornelia, la hija menor, y sus ansias de libertad en un mundo de hombres; la de Marco Pocio Catón y su persecución política contra los Escipión, junto con su aliado Graco, heredero de la poderosa familia Sempronia; la de Areté, una prostituta griega demasiado bella para pasar inadvertida; la del rey Antíoco III de Siria, cegado por las ambiciones de sus generales; la de Cayo Lelio, dispuesto a permanecer junto a su gran amigo Escipión más allá de la razón, y muchos otros personajes igualmente fascinantes.

Posteguillo nos permite ser testigos privilegiados del ocaso de la vida tan intensa como desbordante de Publio Cornelio Escipión, en el marco incomparable de una Roma que emerge victoriosa por encima de la historia sin importarle arrasar en su imparable ascenso con todo y con todos, incluidos sus héroes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With masterful historical precision and an exceptional narrative rhythm, Santiago Posteguillo presents the story of the childhood and youth of Africanus--one of the most influential figures in Western history--in this deluxe box set edition of the complete trilogy.

Africanus

At the end of the 3rd century B.C., Rome stands on the brink of annihilation by the Carthaginian armies led by one of the greatest military strategists of all time--Hannibal. His alliance with Philip V of Macedonia, aimed at Rome's destruction and the division of the known world between Carthage and Macedonia, formed an unstoppable force that could have forever changed the course of Western history.

A few years before the conflict erupted, a boy was born who was destined for greatness: Publius Cornelius Scipio, son of the Roman consul during the first year of the war. As a young officer, he embarked on a difficult journey, overcoming obstacles and forging impossible alliances. His feats earned him the name Africanus, in reference to one of the territories he conquered.

The Accursed Legions

Publius Cornelius Scipio, who would go down in history as Africanus, was only twenty-six when he accepted command of the Roman troops in Hispania. Heir to the military brilliance of his father and uncle, young Scipio also inherited their fierce enemies, such as Hannibal's brother, Hasdrubal, and the powerful Carthaginian Gisco, both plotting to defeat his army on the battlefield.

His rivals also lurked in the Roman Senate, where the powerful Quintus Fabius Maximus--an implacable enemy of the Scipio family--forced him, after the campaign in Hispania, to command the Fifth and Sixth Legions. These were cursed legions, made up of the survivors of Cannae, Rome's most humiliating defeat at the hands of Hannibal. Exiled in Sicily, they had lost their discipline, their sense of duty, and any hope of returning home. Through this maneuver, Fabius Maximus believed he had condemned the last Scipio to certain death. What he could not foresee was that the young general and his accursed legions were destined to change the course of history.

The Betrayal of Rome

In the final novel of the Africanus trilogy, Santiago Posteguillo recounts the epic conclusion to the lives of two of history's most legendary figures: Scipio and Hannibal. After the Battle of Zama, the eternal enemies meet once more amid the chaos of the Asian wars.

But The Betrayal of Rome is also the story of Scipio's son, who struggles to live up to an unattainable father; of young Cornelia, his daughter, yearning for freedom in a man's world; of Marcus Porcius Cato and his political crusade against the Scipios, alongside his ally Gracchus, heir to the powerful Sempronian family; of Arete, a Greek courtesan too beautiful to go unnoticed; of King Antiochus III of Syria, blinded by the ambitions of his generals; of Gaius Laelius, determined to stand by his friend Scipio beyond all reason--and of many other equally captivating characters.

Posteguillo allows us to witness, as privileged spectators, the twilight of the extraordinary and turbulent life of Publius Cornelius Scipio--set against the incomparable backdrop of a Rome that rises triumphant, indifferent to the destruction it leaves behind in its unstoppable ascent, even if it means consuming its own heroes.

fallen destiny? more like destined to fall in love
Format: Kindle
Kieran is an angel, but she doesn't have an affinity. Nothing angers her father more. If she doesn't find an affinity soon she will be cast to earth & have her wings removed. But she has the choice to become a fallen angel, wings turn black, & live her life on edge. Towards the end of the book things start to make sense. Gabe’s nickname for Kieran, Steele’a hatred, Bastian’s belief that Kieran is powerful. This book ended literally during a war? As one of her friends was injured, and admitted a bit secret? Talk about cliff hanger. The next book comes out August 5th.

Well holy moly!
Format: Kindle
Holy moly that story definitely had me hooked! Kieran was definitely a character that I immediately adored. She has obviously had to deal with a butt load of too high expectations from her father (who is 🤬).. She has been helpless when it came to finding out her affinity with so many years of no answers & perceived failure. When Ronan, gives her a small inkling of hope that she be a Beast Tamer, she jumps into it. But again she doesn’t seem to fit. But when she runs into Gabe again, she ends up helping him & rethinking her life in Alfemir. And when the opportunity comes she decides leaving is the best option. But when Ronan demands he comes with her & then the random appearance of Bastian, she is feeling very overwhelmed. After she chooses to fall with them, they land on earth exactly where Gabe is located only to run into Steele who is a person that I was finding hard to like. After training, she eventually finds out she does have an affinity & it’s one that no longer exist & is incredibly powerful but also has a prophecy attached to it. I feel incredibly bad for her on she learns about the prophecy & Steele’s connection with it too. But that ending, with the battle scene & Niz….yeah definitely was not expecting that but hello I am all here for it too! Absolutely amazing start of a series & I for sure will be waiting for the next one to come out. Amazing job!

So good!
Format: Kindle
Wings of Stars was a fantastic first book to a new series. It grabbed me in its clutches within the first chapter and kept ahold of me. This new world of M Sinclair and RL Caulder’s is all about angels and mythical creatures. It’s full of drama from all points. From Kieran’s awful home life to keeping the stars alive and everything in between. Kieran is our FMC and despite everything she keeps her spirit and defiance. Keeping to their norm, there is a group of guys for our FMC but they definitely aren’t established yet, and not fully cemented yet into being a group rather than her choosing between them. Ronan is so sweet and gives off Daddy vibes Gabe is also sweet and wants the best of everything for Kieran and will defend her against anyone Bastian is slightly unhinged but I loved him immediately Steele is a jerk… just as you find redeeming qualities, he screws up again… but yet I still want him to redeem himself. There’s another one… but if I gave his name I would be spoiling a plot twist so you will just have to find out yourself… but you’ll love him as much as I do. This is a slow burn but the little bit of spice we do get is hot, especially with the dirty talk.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book! Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real. Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests. Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well. Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights. Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series. I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol. You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest. I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.
