In first-century Roman Britain, a Celtic warrior rides out on a
deadly mission. A thrilling blend of legend and history, bloody
battles and daring deeds by the author of the Whale Road
Chronicles. A priceless relic - a thankless quest - who will make
it out alive? Britannia, 58 AD. Fergus MacAmergin is a man out of
place. An Irish Celt, he passes as a Gaul and rides with the Roman
cavalry, affirming Nero's control over the province. Fergus dreams
of escaping the fetters ofhis birth and living freely as a citizen
of Rome. When Fergus's commander makes a battlefield error, Fergus
is blamed. He and his men are given a thankless task: a quest that
spells danger, despair, and near-certain death. The mission: to
find the Holy Lance, the spear that wounded Christ on the Cross.
The young Tribune Agricola is drawn into the quest, and he and
Fergus must overlook their differences to survive. But there are
plots and enemies everywhere. And just why is the Holy Lance so key
to Roman mastery over Britannia? Reviews for Tim Hodkinson: 'A
