A young soldier seeks redemption and revenge as he fights for Julius Caesar in Spain. A Roman historical adventure perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Simon Turney and Conn Iggulden.

A disgraced soldier. A brilliant commander. A tale of treachery and vengeance.
The road to history awaits.

62BC. Titus Saturninus Sabinus, son of parents disgraced and murdered during the dictator Sulla's campaigns, joins the Roman Army to escape a life of poverty and cruelty. Titus thinks only of vengeance and the restoration of his honour.

Army life is no less cruel, but when Titus is posted to the province of Hispania under a rising commander named Julius Caesar, his life changes in ways he never expected.

Caesar shares an unexpected bond with the young soldier – he too nearly met death and disgrace at Sulla's hands. But Caesar has his own problems: he is indebted to the richest man in Rome, and the gold he amassed to pay off his debt has been stolen.

If Titus can help Caesar recover the gold, he may be able to regain his honour. But with traitors in the army and the local tribes ready for war, all roads lead to the battlefield. War will mean the next step on the road to redemption... or a bloody death at the hands of bitter enemies.
