Publisher Description:

A father's choice. A tribe's last hope. An empire that will burn them both.
AD 77. Rome has come to the western mountains of Britannia, and one father will follow his sons into hell to bring them home.

Cadwal has buried enough friends and broken enough shield walls. All he wants now is his sons safe inside the walls of Crow Hill. Owyn, old enough to hold a practice hammer like he means it. Arwel, who still asks how long it will be before he is brave.

Then the Dogs come. False refugees, let through the gates. By dawn the fort has fallen. His sons are in chains. And Cadwal follows them not to the slave markets, but somewhere worse: the mines. The place Rome sends men it wants forgotten.

Word finds him in the dark. His tribe still stands. They need him. But his sons are somewhere in chains, and every day he bleeds for his people is a day he is not looking for them.

There is no right choice. There is only the man he chooses to be.
