Description

At the northern edge of Roman Britain in AD 100, Flavius Ferox—a Briton who has risen to become a Roman centurion—guards the frontier from his fort at Vindolanda. As rival ambitions, whispers of rebellion, and unsettling reports from beyond the coast threaten to overwhelm the fragile peace, Ferox must determine where danger truly lies. Blending rigorous historical detail with fast-paced action, the novel explores loyalty, empire, cultural conflict, and the harsh realities of life on Rome’s distant frontier.
