De la solapa interior

The warrior queen Boudicca is ready to lead the tribes to war.

The Roman grip on Britain is weakening. Emperor Nero has turned his face away from this far-flung outpost. The Romans' cruelty and exploitation have angered their British subjects, and now the Druids are on the rise, stoking the fires of this anger and spreading the spark of rebellion among the British tribes.

Standing against Boudicca's uprising is Roman tribune Gaius Valerius Verrens, Commander of the veteran legionaries of Colonia. One act of violence ignites the smouldering British hatred into the roaring furnace of war.

Colonia will be the first city to feel the wrath of Boudicca's revenge, and Valerius must gather his veterans for a desperate defence. Against incredible odds and with dwindling supplies they will fight to the death. And it is here that Valerius will win lifelong fame and the accolade Hero of Rome.
