"A vivid and gripping tale of one man's quest to regain his birthright." Paul Bernardi, author of Thurkill's Revenge
551.

The Romans have almost regained their homeland.

Led by Belisarius, their all-conquering general, Roman armies have won victory after victory in Italy. Now they must march upon the capital of the Goths at Ravenna.

Coel ap Amhar, now a veteran officer, is one of the few men Belisarius can trust. He carries his famous sword, once wielded by Julius Caesar, in the final engagements to conquer the Italian mainland.

Yet there is more to winning a war than battles. Undermined by enemies in Constantinople, Belisarius suffers betrayal. Coel is dragged with him into the melting pot of treachery and politics, until a final devastating blow almost destroys his loyalty to the empire.

The discovery of his son, Arthur, forces the ageing Coel back into the army. The warrior will take part in a final effort to reconquer Italy.

From the sea-battle of Sena Gallica, to the slaughter of Taginae, Coel must fight like never before to save himself and his bloodline.

David Pilling is the author of fictional and non-fictional works, including Leader of Battles, Longsword, The White Hawk, Rebellion Against Henry III: The Disinherited Montfortians 1265-74, and many more.
