You want peace and a happy retirement, Pacorus?
The only way to ensure both is to eradicate your enemies before they have a chance to mobilise.
So, are you a warlord or farmer?
Pacorus and Gallia have survived their time of trial in Media and have returned to Dura, intent on no longer fighting Parthia’s wars. And it just so happens that the empire is at peace. In the east, Satrap Kewab, a son of Dura, has fought the Kushans to a standstill, and in the west relations between King of Kings Phraates and the Roman leader Octavian are never better. A relieved Pacorus turns his attention to irrigation and farming, happy to leave the matter of the return to Rome of the eagles he captured at Carrhae to Phraates, the scheming, untrustworthy high king.
But there are other seeds that have been planted aside from the ones placed in Dura’s now fertile soil, and soon rumblings of conflict are heard in the north. While Pacorus thinks of peaceful prosperity, others brood and want vengeance, and have no qualms about dragging Parthia’s most famous warlord into fresh bloodshed. Soon, Pacorus is leading Dura’s army once more to war, in a conflict that will see him win his greatest victory, while suffering painful personal loss.
‘Lord of War’ is the eleventh volume in the Parthian Chronicles series and follows on from ‘The Slave King’. An updated map of the Parthian Empire in the 1st century BC can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com.

With so much news and information out there in the media these days, it can be hard to know what to believe. But if someone asked you to explain the origin of your political and social beliefs, could you provide a thoughtful and complete answer? Could you explain why you believe the way you do?
Have You Figured It Out Yet? can help you answer the question. Author Rick LaRhette has figured out the origins of his political and social beliefs by asking a series of tough questions on topics such as political orientation, raising a family, picking your friends, choosing your news and information sources, and knowing about the role of the federal government. He then applies his political and social beliefs to some current hot-topic issues such as immigration, health care, education, global warming, and firearms.
It is important to keep asking the hard questions, and if you have ever wondered where your political and social beliefs came from, then Have You Figured It Out Yet? can provide you with some fresh, independent thoughts to chew on outside of media influences.
When Aidoneus, god of the underworld, lost Persephone, he lost everything. He fled to the mortal world, where he's buried himself in his work. Nothing else could distract him from the pain...until his company hires a new accountant.
Kora is brilliant with numbers and undeniably attractive. But there's more to her than that. She makes Aidoneus feel again, makes his powers act up in ways they haven't in years. And his family is suspicious: could Kora be a Titan, the age-old enemy of the Greek gods? The very same people responsible for Persephone's death?
Aidoneus and his family aren't the only ones interested in Kora: the Watchers, ancient guardians of Olympus, have been waiting. And now, they're preparing for war.
Kora must choose between the friends she trusts and the man she loves. And Aidoneus must choose between the only family he's ever known and the woman who feels like home. The right choice could bring peace to their world–if they have the strength to make it.
The Scarlet Romance is a full-length paranormal romance featuring Olympians, Greek gods, unbelievable fight scenes, and a fated romance that will leave you spellbound.
Something foul has invaded Zoe and Garth’s newly renovated historic home. Will the evil overtake them or will their mysterious visitor drive it back to hell where it belongs?
Zoe Erskine’s marriage to Garth, her father’s long-time business partner, was the one good thing that happened to her in the past year of total torment and personal loss. The subsequent purchase of their historical home on Long Island carried the promise of a new beginning. Their happiness is threatened when unwelcome, evil entity invades their residence.
Rebecca grew up close to the Indian reservation where her parents were missionaries. Although she understood the power of Jesus Christ, after the murder of her best friend, she turned to Indian spirits for protection.
As frightening as some spirits were, others seemed almost friendly. In fact, she thought God sent His angels to comfort her in her loneliness. Believing lies and accepting demons as her spirit-helpers led to suicidal thoughts and left her wondering if she really was insane. Teachers and pastors condemning her to hell raised more questions and doubt about who God was.
Was there any hope of freedom from the spirit voices in her head? Could she escape the demons that terrorized her with their presence? Was she doomed to insanity?
Then a stranger dared to care. Hope, like a tiny seed, took root as she began to see God’s grace through others who surrounded her with love. It wasn’t long before she realized it was God’s grace that was leading her on her journey to freedom.
