If you like historical Roman fiction set towards the end of the Roman Empire and similar books by Simon Scarrow and Colin Iggulden then you will enjoy this story and the battles that unfold.

An interesting story of one Roman solider’s quest to fight the invading Picts and reconnect with his family.. I wonder why the people in what is now Northern England were afraid of the Saxons and the Franks, neither tribe was present in Britain in that era. Both were loose confederations of tribes in what is now Germany at the time and probably never even called themselves Saxons or Franks.

Now if your one of those people who enjoys hearibg stories of ancient Rome this is the book for you. Set in Britiana 367 AD it will tell the story of one man's brave journey to rid the country of barbarians and claim the title of hero himself. Overall this was a very interesting read and I think if your a man you would enjoy the plot and develop an interest in history. I usually prefer stories with the woman as the hero but this one just happened to be a nice experience to read.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own.
