About Iron Scars : A Novel of the Spartan Empire by Hamilton Baker:
What If Sparta Ruled An Empire?
After centuries of conquest, the Spartan Empire dominates the known world. But many people living within its borders hate their new masters, and an uprising spreads to every corner. In response, the Emperor orders his Phalanxes to wage war on his rebellious subjects. They are led by a ruthless Commander who will stop at nothing to eliminate all who oppose Sparta.
Meanwhile, beyond the Empire’s northern border, powerful yagar warriors live scattered throughout the wilds of the Forever Forest and North Lands. The Ten Clans are divided, as they have been for a thousand years. But when Spartans kidnap a certain female for the Emperor, one yagar sets out to do the unthinkable in order to save her.
Back in the Empire, a leader of the rebellion knows the Spartans are too powerful to defeat, and she believes an alliance with the mysterious yagars is their only hope. But is such a thing even possible? Humans and yagars have always been enemies. How can she bring them together? And even if she can, will they be enough to help bring down the most powerful empire in the world?
In this action-packed, alternate-history adventure, will a rebellion break the bonds of tyranny? Will alliances be forged in time to heal a broken world? Will an empire conquer or fall?

Author Bio:
My name is Hamilton Baker and I’ve loved writing stories all my life. This is my debut novel, which I’ve been working on for over 7 years now. It’s taken 20+ drafts to get it ready for release, and I’m so excited that it’s finally out!
My short story BLOOD AND HONOUR was selected to be published in the 2016 edition of Shoreline, a compilation of Canadian literature from Polar Expressions Publishing.
I’m a lifelong ancient history nerd (with a tattoo to prove it), and I’ve travelled to both Italy and Greece to walk the paths of my characters.
Besides writing, my other hobbies are playing soccer, ping pong, piano, and biking around town with my wife. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends whenever I can.
