Sons of Iberia
The story of the Iberian warriors who shaped the future of the ancient world
A brutal, cinematic historical fiction series set during the Second Punic War as experienced by the warriors of Iberia
Start with Warhorn
The war begins long before Rome understands it has already lost control.
Caros is no hero. He is not chosen. He is not destined.
He is a son of Iberia—caught between Carthage and Rome as both powers tighten their grip on his land.
When war comes, it does not arrive with honour.
It comes with fire. With betrayal. With choices that leave scars.
👉 Warhorn is the opening to a grounded, historically authentic series that strips away the myth and shows the war as it was lived.
Sons of Iberia
A multi-book historical fiction series following Caros of the Bastetani through the chaos of the Second Punic War.
- Warhorn (219 BCE — The Fall Begins)
- Battle Cloud (218 BCE — The Storm Gathers)
- Gladius Winter (218 BCE — Blood and Steel)
- Howl of Blades (217 BCE — No Escape)
- Broken Shield (215 BCE — The Cost of War)
- Season of Scars (Coming Soon)
This is not a tale of invincible legions or noble empires.
It is a story of survival.
Of fractured tribes.
Of shifting loyalties.
Of men forced to become something harder than they ever intended.
WHY THIS SERIES IS DIFFERENT
Most stories of the Second Punic War follow Rome.
This one doesn’t.
This is the war from the ground level—through Iberian eyes.
- Historically grounded (no fantasy, no myth-making)
- Focused on real consequences, not heroic invincibility
- Built over 13 years of writing and refinement
- Rooted in the cultures, conflicts, and landscapes of ancient Iberia
If you’re looking for polished heroes and clean victories—this is not that story.
If you want the war as it might have been lived…
You’re in the right place.
