You love historical fiction grounded in real Roman politics and military strategy, where the action serves genuine historical stakes.
You're already invested in Riches's Empire series and want to see how Scaurus and Marcus navigate the final confrontation of the succession war.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels and don't want to catch up on fourteen previous books in the series.

You're squeamish about graphic battle scenes and the brutal realities of Roman warfare depicted in unflinching detail.

About this book

Following the Year of the Five Emperors, three imperial contenders remain. The ruthless Septimius Severus advances through Cappadocia and Cilicia, pursuing the retreating legions of the Eastern Emperor, Percennius Niger. Two veterans serve in Severus's forces: Gaius Rutilius Scaurus, restored to legion commander, and the tribune Marcus Valerius Aquila, his client. Unknown to most, Marcus has killed an emperor before. As Niger retreats toward the fortress of Antioch—threatening to prolong the war indefinitely—Scaurus and Aquila are tasked with planning daring raids to slow the enemy advance. Eventually cornered on a decisive battlefield, the two men face a final, bloody confrontation. One of the imperial pretenders will not survive.
