In his fifth adventure, Vespasian fights an evil on two fronts--an
ancient evil in Britannia and political intrigue in the heart of
Imperial Rome. In the shadow of Stonehenge, an epic battle
begins.Britannia, 45 AD: Vespasian's brother, Sabinus, is captured
by druids. The druids want to offer a potent sacrifice to their
gods--not just one Roman Legate, but two. They know that Vespasian
will come after his brother and they plan to sacrifice the siblings
on midsummer's day. But to whom will they be making this sacrifice?
What were the gods of this land before the Celts came? Only the
druids still hold the secret and it is one of pure malevolence.
Vespasian must strive to save his brother while completing the
conquest of the south-west of the haunted isle, before he is drawn
inexorably back to Rome and the heart of Imperial politics.
Claudius' three freedmen remain at the locus of power. As
Messalina's time as Empress comes to a bloody end, the three
freedmen each back a different mistress. But which woman will be
victorious? And at what price for Vespasian?
