Will home ever be in reach…?
First Spear Centurion Julius Quintus Quirinius and his comrades find themselves posted as irregulars in the service of young General Nero Claudius Drusus Caesar, stepson to Augustus.
Drusus has been charged with keeping the peace in Gaul and expanding Roman rule into Germania.
Quintus is sent first to secure an alliance with the ancient Frisian tribe, who control the coastal lands by the Rhine, and then on a voyage to the far north.
Quintus finds himself further from Rome than any man has been, and further than ever from fulfilling his vow to his dead companion to return to Rome and honour Ursus’ family.
With the task seeming impossible, Quintus is close to despair, with even some of his comrades doubting him.
Can Quintus please Drusus and win acclaim for his legion? Will he finally be able to fulfil his oath to Ursus?
Or will his men once more find the wheel of fate turns against them…?
