From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the second book in
his authentic, action-packed City of Victory series set on the
frontiers of the Roman Empire. AD 114: NICOPOLIS In the arid plains
beyond the empire's Eastern Frontier, a Roman legion lays siege to
the city of Nicopolis. Estranged from his beloved Enica to keep her
safe, centurion Flavius Ferox is still working for the emperor's
cousin, the calculating and ruthless Hadrian. Sent to uncover
corruption in the army, Ferox has killed a tribune and is under
suspended sentence of death - but he knows more traitors are at
large. As the siege builds, Ferox will have to figure out who can
be trusted, and just what it is that Hadrian really wants...
Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The City is the second
book in the City of Victory trilogy, set in the Roman empire from
bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy. Praise for Adrian
Goldsworthy: 'No one knows the Roman army better than Adrian
Goldsworthy, and no one writes more convincing Roman fiction.'
Harry Sidebottom 'Gritty and realistic.' Daily Telegraph 'Brings
the reader closer to the true nature of Roman Britain.' NB Magazine
