Warrior of Rome: The Amber Road

Product Description

AD 264: The Roman Empire is torn in two - and everyone must choose a side . . .

To the west, Gaul, Spain and Britain have been seized by the pretender Postumus. In the east, the armies of emperor Gallienus muster on the Italian plains. War is coming . . .

On a mission shrouded in secrecy, Ballista journeys the Amber Road north, back to the people of his birth - in order to ask them to fight for the Empire.

But between a fearsome, masked warlord who attacks with fire and sword and those of his kin who do not welcome his home-coming, the Warrior of Rome's return is met with death and destruction . . .
