Historical Fiction

From the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers BROTHERS IN BLOOD, CENTURION and THE GLADIATOR, and co-author with T. J. Andrews of the Sunday Times bestseller ARENA, comes a tense, action-packed adventure with the Roman army officer Figulus in the heart of barbaric first-century Britannia.

Previously published in five separate ebook-only instalments.

In this gripping novel about the Roman army's struggles against the barbarians in first-century Britannia, the junior officer Figulus faces a series of missions which could bring him honour and promotion - or lead to a dreadful fate at the hands of a ruthless enemy.

Amongst the bravest in the heart of the action, Figulus has not sought out leadership but, as the story progresses, must rise to the challenge of bringing his men safely through skirmishes and sabotage as well as brutal face-to-face combat.

And always every soldier, whatever his rank, knows that this may be the day he is asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for Rome.
