The Ark and the Empire, first book in the Shards trilogy (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social), by @michaellivingston.com, is a great blend between history and myth; a pageturner that gives a fantastical spin over a key moment of Roman history.

I am really enjoying "Bloody Crowns" by @michaellivingston.com . Super dense, as he's covering an incredibly dense era, but gripping and easy to follow. I also can't get the phrase "wet gap" out of my head. Absolutely recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in medieval history.

“The author’s training as both scholar and storyteller shapes his execution effectively. His command of archival material—royal letters, treaties, chronicles, and the practical minutiae of campaigns—anchors the narrative, while his instinct for structure keeps it readable.”
