From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the final book in his
authentic, action-packed trilogy set on the frontiers of the Roman
Empire.
Britannia, AD 117: Roman centurion Flavius Ferox is trying to live a
quiet life of dignified leisure, overseeing his wife's estate and doing
his best to resist the urge to murder an annoying neighbour - until
someone else does it for him. Dragged back into a life of violence,
Ferox finds himself chasing raiders, fighting chieftains and negotiating
with kings, journeying far into the north just as war breaks out.
With the new emperor, Hadrian, sending agents from Rome, the whole world
seems to be changing: old friends become enemies, enemies claim they are
friends, and new and deadly threats lurk in the shadows.
When, five years later, Hadrian himself comes to Britannia to inspect
his great wall, a new war erupts suddenly, dividing tribes and families.
Ferox is the only one who can save the emperor - but with his family,
and his own life, in danger, Ferox must first decide whose side he is
on...
Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The Wall, set against the
construction of Hardian's Wall, is the final book in the City of Victory
trilogy from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy.
