‘Brutal, audacious, and fast paced.’Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series.

AD6: The greatest army assembled in a generation.Battle, plunder, and glory await.But not for Legionary Corvus. He and half of his legion have been left behind to garrison the province of Pannonia; a wild place where the mountains are as deadly as any foe.Corvus despairs as he watches his closest friend Marcus march to war, not knowing that his own eager thirst for battle is about to be quenched; a huge rebel army has revolted against The Empire, and Corvus and his few comrades are all that stand against them.
