400 AD. Rome is under siege from within and across its empire. Caratacus, a warrior schooled by the druids, is the lone resistance south of Hadrian's Wall. The Roman Ninth Legion are ensnared and torn asunder. Betrayed, following a fractious alliance, Caratacus is enslaved and sent to the arena - where death or freedom awaits. The warrior is eventually ordered to serve as a centurion until his general is accused of sedition by a self-serving senate. Caratacus frees himself from his Roman yoke. But war, rather than peace, reigns. Fulfilling a druid prophecy, Caratacus takes up arms against the invading Saxons and Angles. The warrior becomes a leader, but will Caratacus lead his people to victory or death? Recommended for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Manda Scott.
