Description



About the Book



The acclaimed author of "Ice Reich" delivers a powerful historical novel of ancient warfare, lethal politics, and the final great clash of Roman and Celtic culture.



From the Back Cover



A fusion of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire and the movie Braveheart; a novel of ancient warfare, lethal politics, and the final great clash of Roman and Celtic culture.

For three centuries, the stone barrier we know as Hadrian's Wall shielded Roman Britain from the unconquered barbarians of the island's northern highlands. But when Valeria, a senator's daughter, is sent to the Wall for an arranged marriage to an aristocratic officer in 367 AD, her journey unleashes jealousy, passion and epic war. Valeria's new husband, Marcus, has supplanted the brutally efficient veteran soldier Galba as commander of the famed Petriana cavalry. Yet Galba insists on escorting the bride-to-be on her journey to the Wall. Is he submitting to duty? Or plotting revenge? And what is the mysterious past of the handsome barbarian chieftain Arden Caratacus, who springs from ambush and who seems to know so much of hated Rome?

As sharp as the edge of a spatha sword and as piercing as a Celtic arrow, Hadrian's Wall evokes a lost world of Roman ideals and barbaric romanticism.



Review Quotes




"From its evocative beginning to its shattering climax, Hadrian's Wall is riveting. The characters are as sharply defined as a Roman mosaic, the landscape as mysterious and unyielding as a Celtic runestone. A gripping and literate work that will haunt you long after you've put it down." - -Michael Curtis Ford, author of The Ten Thousand and Gods and Legions
