A young Roman soldier seeking revenge and redemption fights for Julius Caesar in Spain. A disgraced soldier. A brilliant commander. The road to history awaits. Titus Saturninus Sabinus, son of parents disgraced and murdered under the dictator Sulla, joins the Roman Army to escape the dishonour of his past and the cruelty of his present. Army life is no less cruel, but things change when Titus is posted to Hispania under a rising commander named Julius Caesar. The two men share an unexpected bond, for Caesar too suffered at Sulla's hands. Caesar is also indebted to the richest man in Rome, and the gold to pay off his debt has been stolen. If Titus can recover the gold, he will win Caesar's favour, but with Hispania ready for war and traitors in the Romans' midst, battle is coming. On the field of combat, Titus will either win redemption... or death at the hands of bitter enemies. An epic historical adventure novel perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Conn Iggulden.
