FRESH FROM BATTLE, MARCUS AQUILA AND THE TUNGRIANS ARE GIVEN THEIR MOST DANGEROUS MISSION YET .

'A master of the genre' The Times

After their recent victory in Germania, Marcus Aquila and the Tungrians are sent to Dacia to safeguard a crucial imperial asset.

The mines of Alburnus Major contain enough gold to pave the way to Rome. And with vast riches come great enemies.

Whilst trying to hold off marauding Sarmatians, Marcus and his cohort must contend with a series of shocking betrayals. But nothing can prepare them for the threat posed by a new and unexpected enemy.

A gripping new instalment from one of the biggest names in the genre, this is 'read-through-the-night fiction' (Conn Iggulden).
