'I just can't put this wonderful series down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Reader review
The murderous Roman agents who nearly captured Marcus have been defeated. But in order to protect his saviours from the wrath of the emperor, Marcus must leave the province which has been giving him shelter, leading his men of the second Tungrian auxiliary sohort from Hadrian's Wall to the Tungrians' original home in Germania Inferior.
There he finds a very different world from the turbulent British frontier - but one with its own dangers. Tungrorum, a city brought low by the ravages of the eastern plague that has swept through the empire, is now threatened by an outbreak of violent robbery.
A bandit chieftain called Obduro, his identity always hidden behind an iron cavalry helmet, is robbing and killing with impunity.
His sword - sharper, stronger and more deadly than any known to the Roman army - is the lethal symbol of his unstoppable power. And now he has moved beyond mere theft and threatens to destabilize the whole northern frontier of the empire . . .
