About the Book
Will the odds ever be in their favour…?
In the high Alpen lands, Tiberius, General, Praetor, son of Caesar, is incensed by the insolence of the native tribesmen who dare to oppose him.
First Spear Centurion Julius Quintus Quirinius and his depleted cohort are posted behind enemy lines to eliminate them. They are to be irregulars, to act as shield-bearers or ‘scutarius’ to Tiberius’ armies, keeping the way before them clear.
Victory could win Quintus and his men back their rightful ranks and stations in the legions. And could even finally allow them to return to Rome.
But unfamiliar with the rapid turning of the seasons in the mountains, Quintus finds himself trapped by snow and lost in the vast lands of the enemy.
He needs to find a forward, to do service to Caesar’s sons, but the task seems increasingly impossible.
Can Quintus find his way back to the battle? Could victory in the Alps be in his grasp?
Or will the fickle gods once more betray him…?
