THE ENTHRALLING NEW DRAMA IN THE EPIC STORY OF CARATACUS: THE BARBARIAN KING WHO LED THE TRIBES OF BRITANNIA AGAINST MIGHTY ROME.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTESLLER REVENGE OF ROMEThe enthralling new drama in the epic story of Caratacus: the barbarian king who led the tribes of Britannia against mighty Rome . . .
WHILE THE MILITARY LEADERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES, BRITANNIA'S WARLORD CARATACUS FIGHTS TO UNITE THE WARRING TRIBES.
AD 43, Britannia. A barbarian land . . .
Caratacus is warlord of his tribe. Only King Cunobelinus holds more power. The island's clans are constantly at war. Caratacus has relentlessly driven new alliances, but those are ready to crumble at any provocation. A situation King Verica, an implacable enemy, is keen to exploit, with the support of ever-ambitious Rome. And Rome has a spy in Cunobelinus's inner circle.
The elders believe their island is impregnable. Caratacus is powerful enough to ignore their mockery, as he calls on thousands of men to enlist, and prepare to defend their homeland. But even Caratacus cannot be certain that an army of warriors and ragtag bands of farmers can be turned into a disciplined fighting force that can defy the mighty military machine poised to invade.
Caratacus and his men are preparing for the most deadly battle of their lives. The future of their world is at stake.
