Book Description |
Between the great powers of Rome and her old foe Parthia lies the desert kingdom of Palmyra. Parthia plans to gain control of Palmyra to launch an invasion of the Roman provinces. Prefect Macro and Centurion Cato are in charge as the Second Illyrian cohort prepares fro the coming invasion.
With Palmyra’s royal household on the brink of open revolt, a task force is dispatched to defend its King and borders. When Parthia hears of the Roman army’s presence, it starts amassing its troops for war. After the Parthian attack an outpost, Macro’s cohort must march against the enemy, deep into treacherous territory. If Palmyra is not to fall into the clutches of Parthia, they will have to defeat superior numbers in a desperate siege and pitched battle.
The quest for peace had never been more challenging, nor more critical for the future of the empire. |
