Synopsis

A TALE OF DEADLY CONSPIRACIES, BRUTAL BATTLES AND DIVIDED LOYALTY His life in tatters, the nation over which he presided now annexed by Rome, Galdir returns to the city from which he once escaped as a slave. But this time he's no innocent boy, and he quickly rises to become bodyguard to Emperor Commodus. For in this den of thieves and scoundrels lies Galdir's only hope of persuading the Senate to rescind the Roman fetters that hold his people. But the veteran swordsman becomes caught up in a fight to protect the mad Emperor, and must face his own people in a cataclysmic battle to end all opposition to Rome. 'Protector of Rome' brings the epic tale of Galdir full circle-right back to the city that once enslaved him.

About this title

Review

"Beautifully written, perfectly paced, plotted and structured. It never wavers from its narrative trajectory or its cast-iron plot ... A gripping, thoroughly satisfying novel, genre writing at its best." - Dexter Petley, author of "White Lies". "A real triumph from an author who is going from strength to strength." - Gordon Doherty, bestselling author of Legionary and Legionary: Viper of the North (reviewing Galdir - Rebel of the North).

About the Author

Fredrik Nath is the bestselling author of historical wartime novels including The Cyclist, Farewell Bergerac and Francesca Pascal (World War II), plus Galdir - A Slave's Tale, and Galdir - Rebel of the North (Roman invasion). He is a full-time neurosurgeon based in the northeast of England. In his time, he has run twenty consecutive Great North Run half-marathons, trekked to 6000m in Nepal, and crossed the highest mountain pass in the world.
