AD 26: Sixteen-year-old Vespasian leaves his family farm for Rome,
to find a patron and join the army. But he discovers a city in
turmoil and an Empire on the brink. The ageing emperor Tiberius is
in seclusion on Capri, leaving Rome in the iron grip of Sejanus,
commander of the Praetorian Guard whose spies are everywhere.
Vespasian is out of his depth, making dangerous enemies (and
dangerous friends - like the young Caligula) and soon finds himself
ensnared in a conspiracy against Tiberius. Vespasian flees the city
to take up his position as tribune in an unfashionable legion on
the Balkan frontier. Unblooded and inexperienced, he must lead his
men in savage battle with hostile mountain tribes. But there is no
escaping the politics of Rome. Somehow, he must survive long enough
to uncover the identity of the traitors behind the growing
revolt... THE FIRST INSTALMENT IN THE VESPASIAN SERIES
