About This Book
Asia Minor, 53 B.C. The remnants of a once mighty Roman army fight for their lives at the ends of the known world. Among them, three men, united by a friendship forged on the battlefields of a futile war, fight for their lives in the name of honor, freedom... and revenge! Tarcynius is an Etruscan, warrior and seer, born enemy of Rome but condemned to fight in the ranks of the Forgotten Legion in the service of the Roman Republic. Vrennos is a Gaul. The Romans wiped out his family. He becomes one of the most formidable gladiators of his time - and mentor of the little slave Romulus, who day and night dreams of escaping. Romulus and Faviola are twin brothers, born slaves, the fruit of their mother's rape by a drunken aristocrat. At thirteen years old they change owners - Romulus is sold to a gladiator school, and Faviola to a brothel, where she will attract the attention of one of Rome's most powerful men. The fates of the four characters come together in this unique novel, which begins in a corrupt, decadent Rome, upset by violence and political rivalry, and ends far away, at the extremes of the then known world. "A fascinating historical novel, depicting in exquisite detail the chaos, violence and magnificence of the Roman Republic of the 1st century BC." Booklist
