'A master of the genre' The Times The Tungrian auxiliary cohorts
return to Hadrian's Wall after their successful Dacian campaign,
only to find Britannia in chaos. The legions are overstretched,
struggling to man the forts of the northern frontier in the face of
increasing barbarian resistance. The Tungrians are the only
soldiers who can be sent into the northern wastes, far beyond the
long abandoned wall built by Antoninus, where a lost symbol of
imperial power of the Sixth Victorious Legion is reputed to await
them. Protected by an impassable swamp and hidden in a fortress
atop a high mountain, the eagle of the Sixth legion must be
recovered if the legion is to survive. Marcus and his men must
penetrate the heart of the enemy's strength, ghosting through a
deadly wilderness patrolled by vicious huntresses before breaching
the walls of the Fang, an all-but-impregnable fort, if they are to
rescue the legion's venerated standard. If successful their escape
will be twice as perilous, with the might of a barbarian tribe at
their heels.
