About
Anthony James Lyons is the author of the Legacy Series, a sweeping exploration of Britain's history through the eyes of those who arrived, stayed, resisted, loved, and built—wave after wave of migrants, warriors, refugees, and dreamers who reshaped the nation.
Britain is not a finished story. Its future is written in its past. From Roman legions on Hadrian's Wall to Viking longships carving kingdoms, Norman conquests forging a new realm, and Huguenot artisans fleeing persecution to weave their skills into English life, each book stands alone yet connects through subtle animal spirits symbolising endurance, adaptation, and unbreakable ties.
Anthony lives in England, where the ancient landscapes and layered histories inspire his writing. Drawing on real events, forgotten voices, and the timeless pull of belonging, he crafts tales of high stakes, emotional depth, and quiet transformation—without preaching, just letting the stories breathe.
The series begins with Centurion Legacy (Book 1: Raven) and continues through Viking, Norman, Huguenot eras and beyond—fifteen books planned in total.
