by Gillian Bradshaw
**** [4/5]
This is another historical fiction piece from Bradshaw. Era is Roman Empire invasion of Britian and the story chronicles the adventures of a black man serving in the military. He serves as a scout and rescues several well placed slaves from the imperial household. Through this connection Bradshaw shadows the story of the death of the emperor and the rise of Caracalla.
This is a fun read, I love the historical context of works like this. The story can stand independently as well with a likable hero and several clever plot twists.
