À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The new epic by the author of Empire

Rome, AD 68. Nero has committed suicide and chaos rules.

His short-lived successor Galba makes a fatal mistake. He dismisses the incorruptible Batavians of the Imperial Bodyguard for the crime of loyalty to the dead emperor, and sends them back to their northern homeland under a new prefect. But Julius Civilis is not grateful to be released from his Roman prison. From now on he will call himself Kivilaz, his noble Batavi name. He is angry, and he is dangerous.

Four centurions, two Batavi and two Roman, will be caught up in
the intrigues and the battles that follow - as friends, as victims, as
leaders and as enemies. And one young Batavi recruit faces an even more perilous journey to his destiny.


Anthony Riches is the author of the Empire sequence:
'This is fast-paced and gripping "read-through-the-night" fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both.' Conn Iggulden
