Fire in the East (Warrior of Rome, Book 1)

Already a bestseller in the U.K., Fire in the East is the first gripping installment in an immense grand narrative―the Warrior of Rome series.

A.D. 255: The Roman Imperium is stretched to the breaking point, its authority and might challenged throughout the territories and along every border. One man is sent to marshal the defenses of a lonely city and to shore up the crumbling walls of a once indomitable symbol of Roman power, a man whose very name means war, a man called Ballista. So unfolds an epic drama―a story of empire, heroes, treachery, courage, and most of all, of brutal, bloody warfare.
