Gallia is riven by bloody insurrection. The renegade Praetorian Maturnus - once a trusted centurion but now a bloody-handed outcast - is wreaking havoc upon the province. Deserters and freed slaves are flocking to his cause, turning it into something more than simple banditry. Revolt is in the air for the first time in a generation. Freshly arrived in Rome, after a close escape from imperial betrayal in the German forest, Marcus Aquila and the Tungrians march north to face the new threat to peace and stability. It seems the safest way out: Rime is a dangerous city for a man with a price on his head, and every stone reminds him of the tragedies that have dogged his life. But Marcus soon realises that danger accompanies him. The expeditiino is led by Praetorians, men he has every cause to hate. And to fear, if they should discover who he really is.
