Civil war rages in Rome and there is turmoil in Britannia. When a dying man reveals the existence of a hidden treasure, Calgacus is soon entangled in a web of intrigue, treachery and deceit which brings him face to face with new enemies as well as his oldest adversary.
Another great book by Gordon Anthony! This one—the fourth in his Calgacus series—mainly takes place in Britain around 70 CE, with chapters also occurring in Rome, which descended into chaos and conflict after the death of Nero.
As always, our hero, Calgacus, is incredibly brave, honest, strategic, and intelligent, as he attempts to uphold his family's honor, pay off debts, and save the queen of the Brigantes tribe.
