description: Meet Tribune Sixtus Victorinus. Drunken soldier. Absent father. Unlikely hero.Wall of Hadrian, Britannia, AD 367It’s just another day, until it isn’t. Tribune Sixtus Victorinus is scouting north of the Wall when he first sees the smoke. Little does he know it’s about to change his life forever. Riding south he finds a province in chaos, the local populace in flight, the soldiers absent. For rebellion is in the air at the far reaches of empire. The land is ablaze, overrun with barbarians, ‘Valentia’, is the word on everyone’s lips. And no one seems to have the first clue what to do about it. And so Victorinus must act. He has let his life run to ruin, drunk his youth away. Now he must forge himself into the soldier he always wanted to be, the hero his children think he is. Because his family are among the missing, and traitors lurk much closer than he could ever believe. To save his family, he must first save an empire.
