A lost legion. A Han emperor. An impossible journey. An epic adventure.
Roman Empire, 53BC: After the disastrous defeat at Carrhae, Roman tribune Valerius is captured at the far reaches of the Parthian Empire. Stranded beyond the edge of the known world, he swears he will find a way home.
In Rome, Pompey and Caesar fight for control of a collapsing Republic. Civil war brews. Old loyalties fracture.
Across deserts, oceans and lands no Roman has ever seen, Valerius faces shipwrecks, pirates and a rival tribune determined to destroy him. Driven by love for his wife – and a burning need for vengeance – he must survive impossible odds to reclaim his life and confront the friend who betrayed him.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
