The 21st Eagle of the Empire novel。 If you don't know Simon Scarrow， you don't know Rome！

It is AD 60。 The hard-won province of Britannia is a thorn in the side of the Roman Empire， its tribes swift to anger， and relentless in their bloody harassment of the Roman military。 Far from being a peaceful northern enclave， Britannia is a seething mass of bitter rebels and unlikely alliances against the common enemy。 Corruption amongst greedy officials diverts resources from the locals who need them。 For the military， it's a never-ending fight to maintain a fragile peace。

Now it's time to quell the most dangerous enemy tribes。 Two of Rome's finest commanders - Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro - are charged with a mission as deadly as any they have faced in their long careers。 Can they win the day， or could this be the last battle？

A stunning and unforgettable story of warfare， courage and sacrifice as brave men face an enemy with nothing to lose 。 。 。
