AD 100: VINDOLANDA.
A FORT ON THE EDGE OF THE ROMAN WORLD.
Flavius Ferox, Briton turned Roman centurion , is charged with keeping Rome´s empire safe. But from his base at the northern frontier of Britannia, he feels enemies closing in from all sides .
Ambitious leaders await the chance to carve out empires of their own. While men nearer at hand speak in whispers of war and the destruction of Rome.
And now more sinister threats are reaching Ferox´s ears. Stories about the sea-dwelling men of the night, who have cursed the land and only come ashore to feast on men´s flesh.
These are just rumours for now. But Ferox knows that rumours stem from truth. And that no one on this isle is safe from the great, encircling sea...
