I cared so much for the main characters and still wonder what would be the fate of the survivors. The epilogue brought tears to my eyes. Battles were fought and also there were two sweet love stories. This book is a favorite. This book was perfect: well-rounded characters, both Roman and Briton, no one was hateful, good story, heartwarming. ( ) no reviews | add a review
The Ninth Hispana was once the pride of the Roman Army, wreathed in honour for numerous successful campaigns. But by the time it was joined by Centurion Justinius Corvus, it had clearly fallen on hard times. Smarting from the sting of his recent demotion, and a transfer to Britain, a land he despises, Justinius nevertheless works hard to bring to his men some of the same pride he feels as a Roman soldier. As their bond grows strong, with each other and with the occupied land, their skill in combat is tested to its limits against the forces of Vortrix, High King of the Britons. As the battle lines muster, the fate of an Army, and of a nation, will be decided. No library descriptions found. |
