Fifteen thousand battle-hardened Roman legionaries strike deep into dense forest. Awaiting them are deadly, hostile Germanic tribes.

If they fight together they have a slim chance of staying alive. But whose side is the soldier on? And is it the right one? _____________'Blood and guts, but also a clever exploration of the moral ambiguity of war and loyalty to a flag' Mail on Sunday'Gives Rome's legionaries a contemporary voice - brutal, audacious and fast paced' Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series'Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle.
