A historical novel about Ancient Rome on the threshold of an era: legions, gladiators, intrigues of the imperial court, and blood on the Danube’s shores.
Service as a centurion in the V Legion of the Larks during the first Dacian campaign—back then it was still something of a diversion for a Roman soldier, though it pales in comparison to the dangers that every Roman citizen faces, by the will of fate finding himself one evening in the bleak districts of Subura.
