Mathew Wilson fills this great book with action, adventure, friendship and romance.  A tale of Seven Irishmen abiding in the days of the Roman Empire.  Tieg and his group fend their village against attack, but after the battle they can not find Tieg. They went through valleys, crossed streams, and navigated patches of forest until at last they come upon him -safe, but tired.Homeward bound, "As they passed through the gate, people stared at Tieg. Some nodded with a look that seemed to offer their condolences, but there was more to their curious glances than sympathy. Things had changed, and would never be the same again. Before the battle had begun, he was a lad--a lad who tended the sheep. Now he was being looked upon as a leader.But alas, that was then and now - shackles chafed his raw wrists. He looked around to find six other Irish captives all young lads from his clan. All caught in the bonds of slavery and a ship. "It's a funny thing, Tieg thought, the way innocence is punished right along with stupidity and the greedy walk away with profit ".Oh, what obstacles they encounter!  It will keep you on the edge of your seat and crying for more.  He crosses seas, escapes from cannibals, fights in a war. When Maggie is captured it incites the wrath of the man who loves her.  It is an intense and exciting book.  I cannot wait to read Three Slaves Rome Book Two. "I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it."  Thank you.
