Summary
The third novel in The Forgotten Legion
trilogy takes the main protagonists from North Africa back to
Rome in the build-up to the assassination of Julius Caesar.
Having survived the perils of a journey across half the world,
Romulus and Tarquinius are press-ganged into the legions, which
are under imminent threat of annihilation by the Egyptians.
Meanwhile in Rome, Romulus' twin sister Fabiola lives in fear
for her life, loved by Brutus, but wooed by Marcus Antonius,
his deadly enemy. Back in Egypt, Romulus fights at Zela, the
vicious battle where Caesar famously said, 'Veni, vidi, vici'.
Tarquinius, separated from Romulus in the chaos of war, hides
in Alexandria, searching for guidance. But mortal danger awaits
them both. From the battlefields of North Africa and Spain, to
the lawless streets of Rome and the gladiator arena, they face
death daily, until on the Ides of March, the twins are reunited
and must decide either to back or to betray Caesar on his day
of destiny.
