The Centurions trilogy was written by Amanda Cockrell writing under the pseudonym Damion Hunter. In her own name, Cockrell also has written a separate novel of Roman Britain called The Legions of the Mist (1979).[2]

The other two books in the series are Barbarian Princess and The Emperor's Games. It is unknown why the series never continued past the third book as it was clearly intended to be a much lengthier tale.
