A stunning new novel of battle, treachery and the ultimate fate of a tribal people united by the powerful King Caratacus against an enemy anticipating an easy victory. In a war like no other, acts of bravery and tactics of ingenuity on the part of Caratacus's barbarian fighters will take Rome's finest soldiers by surprise - and what ensues will test every man to his limit, whether a seasoned veteran of multiple imperial campaigns, or a tribesman defending his homeland and his people as one of a bitterly determined defensive force.
An epic, action-packed, page-turning, brutal and unforgettable story of courage, both exciting and authentic: Britannia at its darkest but also its most heroic time.

'A fiercely paced, unvarnished look at an iconic enemy of the Empire' *****
