"Blends action and history. Pilling captures the savagery of the period... For fans of Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden." Richard Foreman, author of Sword of Empire.

427 AD.

Rome has abandoned Britain. The former province is now exposed to barbarian invasions.

Savage pirates of Hibernia ravage the coast. Marauding Picts sweep down from the North. Worst of all are the dreaded sea-wolves, the Saxons.

The Britons are in need of a defender.

Ambrosius Aurelianus, the last of the Romans, is poised to lead the resistance. A brave but modest man, whose family were slaughtered by the Saxons, the soldier takes on the mantle of Dux Bellorum, Leader of Battles.

Placed in command of Britain's last army, Ambrosius fights to preserve the light of civilisation.

Meanwhile the treacherous High King, Vortigern, plots his destruction. Vortigern makes an unholy pact with the Saxon leaders, Hengist and Horsa, and invites them in to defeat Ambrosius.

Ambrosius leads the Britons in a string of desperate battles. At last, the treacherous Vortigern is forced to retreat to his last stronghold. Yet his Saxon allies are far from defeated. The true struggle for Britannia has only just begun...
David Pilling is the author of fictional and non-fictional works, including the Caesar's Sword series, Leader of Battles, Longsword, The White Hawk, Rebellion Against Henry III: The Disinherited Montfortians 1265-74, and many more.
