AD 91: Life is cheap, and so is death...
WELCOME TO ROMAN BRITAIN. It is almost fifty years since the
legions invaded but Britannia is still a raw, frontier province.
Tensions run high, especially in the north, where Aurelia Marcella,
a young Roman woman fled from the ruins of Pompeii, runs the Oak
Tree Inn on the road to York.
SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT. When a traveller is beaten and left for dead
outside her inn, Aurelia finds herself confronted by a man known
only as The Shadow of Death. The Shadow of Death leads a clandestine
warband and they have but one message for Roman settlers like
Aurelia: GET OUT OR DIE. Can Aurelia discover who The Shadow of
Death is before his campaign of terror turns to outright rebellion?
