Description

The City by Adrian Goldsworthy is set in AD 114, amidst the Roman Empire's Eastern Frontier. A Roman legion lays siege to the city of Nicopolis, and centurion Flavius Ferox is tasked with uncovering corruption within the army. Estranged from his beloved Enica for her safety, Ferox must navigate a web of loyalty and deception as he works for the emperor's cousin, Hadrian. As the siege builds, Ferox faces a daunting task: figuring out who can be trusted and what Hadrian truly wants. Suspended sentence of death hangs over him after killing a tribune, and more traitors are believed to be at large. Gritty and gripping, this novel brings an authentic portrayal of life on the Roman Empire's frontiers. Authored by historian Adrian Goldsworthy, The City is the second book in his City of Victory trilogy.
