The Green Wolf: A Thriller of the Circus Maximus

By Shane Ironwood

For a quarter of a million screaming Romans, the Circus Maximus is the greatest spectacle on earth. For the men bleeding in its sand, it is a graveyard.

Titus survived the brutal fighting pits of Capua only to be sold into something far more dangerous: the imperial chariot races. Drafted by the wealthy Green Faction, he is handed the heavy leather reins to four volatile Andalusian stallions and expected to die for the crowd's amusement. But Titus doesn't race with the polished grace of a Roman champion. He drives with the untamed, violent desperation of a man who has nothing left to lose.

Across the arena, his brother Lucius fights a silent war in the shadows. Enslaved by the ruthless leaders of the rival Blue Faction, Lucius is forced to serve the very men trying to slaughter his brother on the track. He is the brilliant insider mapping out the deadly tactics, the track traps, and the ruthless strategies used by the Roman elite.

To keep Titus alive, Lucius must secretly betray his masters and feed their playbook to the track. To win their freedom, Titus must survive a rigged, lethal system designed to break him.

With corrupt senators plotting on the Palatine Hill and the Emperor's guard closing in, the brothers have one impossible path out of the city. They can't just win the race. They have to tear down the empire's greatest spectacle from the inside out.

The Green Wolf is a gritty, high-stakes historical thriller about blood, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood set against the darkest edges of the Roman Empire.
