The Wall

From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the final book in his authentic, action-packed trilogy set on the frontiers of the Roman Empire.

Britannia, AD 117: Roman centurion Flavius Ferox is trying to live a quiet life of dignified leisure and resisting the urge to murder an annoying neighbour - until someone else does it for him. Dragged back into a life of violence, Ferox finds himself chasing raiders, fighting chieftains and negotiating with kings, journeying far into the north just as war breaks out. With the new emperor, Hadrian, sending agents from Rome, the whole world seems to be changing.

When, five years later, Hadrian himself goes to Britannia to inspect his great wall, a new war erupts suddenly, dividing tribes and families. Ferox is the only one who can save the emperor - but with his family, and his own life, in danger, Ferox must first decide whose side he is on...

Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The Wall, set against the construction of Hadrian's Wall, is the final book in the City of Victory trilogy from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Harry Sidebottom.
