Centurion Oath

Rome forged him for war. Loss will forge him into something greater.

Lucius Cassius Longinus was raised under Rome's iron discipline-to command, to fight, to never break. But when his brother is killed in a brutal ambush on the eastern frontier, that certainty shatters, leaving Lucius burdened with honor, grief, and unanswered questions.

Sent to Antioch to complete his training, he enters a ruthless world where loyalty is earned in blood, and every decision costs lives. As he rises, whispers of his brother's final moments surface, challenging everything he believes about duty, strength, and command.

Beyond the battlefield, a greater turning point awaits-one that will echo through history. Standing at the foot of a cross, blind and broken, Lucius is confronted by a man he has just killed. And in that moment, everything changes.

This is the story of a Roman centurion who lost his sight, killed the Son of God, and was healed by the blood that splattered his blind eyes.

First Centurions: Book Two continues with Marcus Jr. and Cornelius Jr. as they face the political tensions of early Christianity, witness the martyrdoms of Peter and Paul, and set out to protect the last living apostle, John, on Patmos.
