376 AD: Rome has never faced a threat like this. In a storm of steel and blood, the Huns have burst from the eastern wilderness, driving the many Germanic tribes against the Empire's borders. The long-neglected imperial frontier garrisons need every man they can get. Anyone who can hold a spear.
Even a slave.
Pavo, his wrists still marked from his shackles, his heart still broken from the death of his father, finds himself approaching the border fortress of the XI Claudia legion. So begins a riotous adventure that will shape his destiny and the fate of the Empire.
Epic Roman fiction, brimming with adventure, battles, blood and gore, from the pen of Gordon Doherty - bestselling author of Age of Attila, Strategos, Empires of Bronze, Rise of Emperors and Assassin's Creed.
