Description
AD262 marks a time of turmoil in the Imperium. A mighty earthquake has shattered Ephesus, Asia's metropolis, leaving its citizens living in fear as they face a mob baying for blood to avenge the gods who have punished them. Meanwhile, an even greater threat emerges from the North: the barbaric Goth tribes are sailing towards Ephesus, determined to pillage the city. Only one man knows the ways of the barbarians - Ballista, a warrior with a deep understanding of their tactics and motivations. But when he is locked into a deadly bloodfeud with an enemy who has sworn to destroy him and the Imperium at all costs, the stakes are raised to their highest point. Dr Harry Sidebottom brings his expertise in ancient warfare to this epic tale of action and drama. Fans of historical fiction will appreciate the author's recreation of the ancient world, which is marked by its searing scholarship and explosive action.
