Description
"An epic tale piecing together post-Arthurian legend -- and that famous sword!" Alistair Forrest, author of Libertas
537.
The Roman Empire is on the march.
After victory in North Africa, Emperor Justinian dreams of restoring the Western Empire.
Coel ap Amhar, King Arthur's grandson, has defeated the empress's champion in the arena. To escape her vengeance, he joins the army bound for Italy.
Justinian dispatches his best general, Belisarius, with a great army to drive the Goths from Italy and recover Rome.
The campaign is initially successful. But an advance can quickly turn into a rout.
Rome is besieged by Vitiges, the dreaded King of the Goths, who wishes to expel the Romans once and for all and conquer their ancient homeland for himself.
Coel must fight on more than once front as well. He is stalked by assassins, sent by his enemies in Constantinople, and thrown into one desperate battle after another.
The soldier's life - and the fate of the Empire - are at stake as Belisarius makes his final stand in the siege of Rome.
