About this ebook

260 AD. Along the Euphrates on Rome’s eastern frontier catastrophe has struck. The empire is in crisis like never before. The Roman world teetering on the brink of collapse. Divided and weakened by usurpers, religious conflict, plague, inflation and barbarian invasion.

Thrown into the desperate battle to halt the Sasanian invasion of Syria and Cappadocia, Corbulo, eldest of three brothers, prefect of the first cohort of Salian Franks tries to do his duty to the empire. To live up to the reputation of the long line of famous and illustrious soldiers from who he is descended. To find a way to save his men while Rome divides and becomes embroiled in civil war. Conscious too of a terrible family secret whose burden he must carry alone.

Ordered south to the desert city of Palmyra, so begins a desperate and daring rescue mission that will take Corbulo and his friends across the desert and into the very heart of the enemy capital of Ctesiphon. To a place where trust must be earned and danger lurks at every corner. But one thing is certain. Nothing will go according to plan.
