The third novel in the cycle `Roman Eagle`.

Great Rome. The beginning of the second millennium. Another hundred years will pass, and the mighty empire will collapse, becoming prey for barbarians flooding into its lands. But now Rome still has enough strength to protect its borders.

The one who once was called Alexey Korshunov, and is now named Alaseya—the Heavenly Warrior—at the head of thousands of barbarians, invades the empire’s territory. The hearts of Germans, Scythians, and the ancestors of Slavs know no fear. They understand only bravery and greed.

Walls of Roman cities fall. Looted estates burn. Barbarian ships sink deep under the weight of plunder.

In a swift march, cohorts of legionnaires move to meet the barbarians. They are led by the primipilus Gennady Pavel. Former military pilot, Russian army lieutenant colonel Gennady Cherepanov, who has already survived the collapse of one empire—his native state—has earned the right to defend another from destruction. What price will he have to pay for the preservation of the Great Rome?
