376 AD: Gothic and Hun hordes mass at the Roman Empire's borders, armed and wild with bloodlust. The desperate legions will take anyone who can grip a spear—even Pavo, a slave with nothing but his life to lose.

Epic Roman fiction, brimming with adventure, battles, blood and gore, from the pen of Gordon Doherty - bestselling author of Strategos, Empires of Bronze, Rise of Emperors and Assassin's Creed.
