Summary

"A brilliantly realised world of Imperial ambition and native resistance" - Simon Scarrow.

"Wonderful, distinct characters" - Conn Iggulden.

Will Britain take him in... or mark him as its enemy?

Faustus Valerianus is the son of a Roman father and a British mother, a captive sold among the spoils after Claudius’ invasion.

When both parents die within a month of each other, he sells the family farm and enlists, joining legendary general Agricola’s campaign to conquer the entirety of the British Isles.

But Faustus will have to contend with more than ferocious British warriors and whip-cracking elements. For the bonds of blood can weigh heavy on one’s soul. The call of his mother’s true people. His father’s restless shadow. Faustus must carry them with him...

A deeply moving, gripping, and epic historical drama, perfect for fans of Ben Kane, Alex Gough, and Andrew Frediani.

Amanda Cockrell, writing as Damion Hunter, is the author of seven previous Roman novels: the four-volume series The Centurions. She grew up in Ojai, California, and developed a fascination with the Romans when a college friend gave her Rosemary Sutcliff’s books to read.

Engaging adventure tale

I'm a great fan of tales from the Roman era, especially when they're spiced up with such great fictional characters like those in this novel. I enjoyed it so much that I'd say this is up there with the likes of Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow. The extra depth with storylines away from the battlefield made it feel all the more engaging, whisking me away to that bygone place in history. Looking forward to the next one!
