Book description
The Forgotten Legion - ten thousand legionaries made captive by the
Parthians - has marched to Margiana on the edge of the known world. In
its midst are Romulus, Brennus and Tarquinius, all men with good
reason to hate Rome. Together the trio must face the savage tribes
which constantly threaten the area. But other, more treacherous
enemies lurk within the ranks of the Forgotten Legion itself. When all
hope is lost, the three friends' character will be tested to the utter
limit.
Meanwhile in Rome, Fabiola, Romulus' twin sister, also fights to
survive. Beset by enemies on all sides, she must travel to Gaul to
find her lover, Caesar's right-hand man. There tribal rebellion under
the charismatic chieftain Vercingetorix threatens not just Caesar's
route to power, but his life and the lives of all who support him.
