reviewed on + 195 more book reviews


It has stood for 3 centuries at the edge of an empire - a massive structure built to keep the Roman conquerors separate and safe from barbarians. Now in 368 AD, a senator's daughtor has come to Britannia's shores, a beautiful, enigmatic noblewoman who's destined to be the bride of an ambitious tribune.
But Valeria's arrival and mysterious disappearance threaten to unleash jealousy and pasion conspiracies and power plays, and an epic battle between Rome's brutal overlords and the proud Celtic warriors that could topple Hadrian's Wall and shake a tired and tottering Empire to its core.
