376 AD: Gothic and Hun hordes mass at the Roman Empire's borders, armed and wild with bloodlust. The threadbare legions will take anyone who can grip a spear -- even Pavo, a slave with nothing but his life to lose.

Hurled into the front lines of a crumbling frontier, Pavo must forge himself into a warrior or watch everything burn. In the crucible of war, a slave's courage may be all that stands between Rome and oblivion.

Epic Roman fiction, brimming with adventure, battles, blood and gore, from the pen of Gordon Doherty - bestselling author of Strategos, Empires of Bronze, Rise of Emperors and Assassin's Creed.

This is Pavo's story.

It begins with tragedy when his legionary father falls in battle. Orphanhood is quickly followed by enslavement to a cruel master. Life has stripped away everything Pavo once had.

Everything except the fight that smoulders on inside him.

When he is freed from his chains and sent to the Claudian legion at the besieged frontier, it is meant to be a death sentence. Instead, he will find his path in life, along with 1,000 brothers and fathers.

Pavo may not survive for long, but he will never be alone again.
