Muted Implications: Book TWELVE (Clay Warrior Stories) by J. Clifton Slater

“When this is over, you and I are going to have a short talk over a pair of long blades.”

The Senior Tribune did not care for Centurion Alerio Sisera and the feeling was mutual.
Welcome to 259 B.C.

By law, all debts must be paid by the Ides of March. For men like them, sharp steel was the only acceptable currency. Unless something changed, one would emerge a winner and the other the guest of honor at a funeral.

Blood payment might not have been the official objective. But it would not matter to an enraged Alerio Sisera as he clutched a gladius and held a temple voucher aloft.

Every debt must be paid by the Ides of March. Especially, those of men scheming behind Muted Implications.

The Clay Warrior Stories are deeply researched historical fiction combined with high adventure. There are no dragons, wizards, or magic spells. Just blades and men skilled in the art of war, living in a time when empires clashed. An era when death rode on the edge of sharp steel and only the lucky or the good walked away from a fight.
