Crime Fiction, Thriller, Action & Adventure
In 214 BC former Centurion Fulvius finds himself in a strange land as he and his band of legionary mutineers begin new lives far from their former post in Cisalpine Gaul. Establishing themselves in a small community on the coast of distant Illyria, Fulvius and his men find the region's traditional vocation much to their liking . . . piracy. Preying upon vessels traversing the rocky, island-strewn littoral, Fulvius once again schemes for a better life, far removed from the constant poverty of his youth. This dream—for maybe the first time in his life—includes others, namely the villagers he now protects. Yet events are already conspiring against his newfound vision of prosperity. Sandwiched between Macedonia in the East, and Rome in the West, a storm is brewing over Illyria. At its center will emerge the most unlikely pair of Romans sharing a single trait in common . . . hatred of one another. A true battle for survival is about to change the face of Illyria, with the lives inhabiting the entire region hanging in the balance. But is a shadowy Roman hand directing this chaos to some unknown purpose? Rome's coming for Illyria, there's no doubt. Just not in the way anyone expects. A single, wretched excuse for a man stands in its way. Fulvius!
