Product Description

The year is 43 AD and after growing up on the fertile slopes of Picenum overlooking the Adriatic sea, Cassus, son of a nobleman and Prydain, son of an ex gladiator, set out to fulfil their destiny in the service of Rome.

Four legions have assembled in Gaul undertaking final preparations for the invasion of Britannia and the two young men are posted to a training cohort under the sadistic tutorage of a battle scarred veteran, Remus. The training is brutal but eventually the trainees find themselves involved in their first campaign

The invasion of Britannia.

The legions rampage through the Celtic land in a frenzy of brutality and aggression, and, as events unfold, Gwydion, one of the defending Celtic warriors is forced to leave the bloody battle to embark on a frantic rescue mission to the Mona, the island of the Druids, closely followed by a pursuing cohort of legionaries.

The Romans find themselves in strange and unfriendly environment and, as they close in on their quarry, the fates of all four men become intertwined and a long held secret revealed culminating in a savage and astonishing climax.
