'A master of the genre' The Times The Romans have vanquished the rebel alliance; Calgus, Lord of the Northern Tribes, is the prisoner of the chieftains he once led. And the Roman leader has an audacious plan to capture Dinpaladyr, the barbarians' fortress of spears. Marcus Aquila - burning for revenge on an enemy that has killed one of his best friends - rides north with the Petriana cavalry. He believes his disguise as Centurion Corvus of the 2nd Tungrians is still holding. But he is just a few days ahead of two of the emperor's agents, sent from Rome to kill him. Pitiless assassins who know his real name, and too much about his friends.

Sammendrag: Tredje bind i Anthony Riches’ Empire-serie om den romerske officer Marcus Aquila. Efter at have overlevet tidligere felttog skjuler Marcus sig fortsat under navnet Centurion Corvus i den romerske hær. Oprøreren Calgus er fængslet, men Rom vil knuse den sidste modstand og erobrer barbarernes fæstning Dinpaladyr. Marcus deltager i felttoget mod nord med Petriana-kavaleriet, drevet af ønsket om hævn for en dræbt ven. Samtidig er to kejserlige agenter sendt fra Rom for at myrde ham; de kender hans virkelige navn og hans svage punkter. Fortællingen skildrer hårde kampe, liv blandt legionærerne, lojalitet, venskab og forræderi langs imperiets barske grænsezone.
