Rome at the end of the Republic was undergoing many changes. Kane tells his story of this time through the eyes of three men. Brennus is an Allobreges warrior, his tribe was destroyed by Roman Legions, and he was sold to a gladiator school. Tarquinius is the last Etruscan haruspex (soothsayer), he seeks to fulfill his destiny. Romulus is a household slave born of rape by a patrician. All three meet on a ship that carries their legion to Asia. Crassus hope to use their legion and others to conquer the Parthians. Each of these men has suffered under the Roman yoke. Now their fortunes are joined as they march to the East and into history. Be sure to read this novel quickly, for the sequel is coming out soon.
