Description
The Encircling Sea by Adrian Goldsworthy is set in AD 100, at a fort on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Flavius Ferox, a Briton turned Roman centurion, is tasked with keeping Rome's empire safe from threats both within and without. As tensions rise, Ferox faces growing concerns about the safety of his base and the land he protects. Rumors spread of sinister forces lurking in the shadows, including stories of men who dwell by the sea and feast on human flesh. While these tales may seem like mere fantasy, Ferox knows that they are rooted in truth. Against this backdrop of uncertainty and danger, Ferox must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries that shape the Roman world. With the great, encircling sea looming large, no one is safe from its reach.
