Marco Valerio Aquila, giovane pretoriano, è appena sbarcato in Britannia, scampato miracolosamente all’orrenda strage della sua famiglia voluta da Commodo. L’imperatore, accecato dal potere, ha emesso contro la sua stirpe una condanna a morte senza appello. Inseguito, braccato, costretto a nascondersi, grazie al favore di un misterioso legato romano, Marco Valerio è accolto sotto falso nome in una legione di stanza presso il Vallo di Adriano, al confine settentrionale della provincia. Qui, grazie al suo valore e alla sua onestà, si procura presto amici fidati fra i soldati della Cohors Tungrorum, la leggendaria coorte dei Tungri. E altrettanti nemici, che sembrano guidati dalla stessa mano che ha sterminato i suoi familiari. Il giovane “Due spade” – così lo hanno soprannominato – diventa centurione, ed è chiamato ogni giorno a dimostrare le sue capacità mentre affronta i compiti che il grado e l’onore gli impongono. Nell’infuriare della sanguinosa e impari battaglia contro i Britanni, il suo coraggio, il rispetto e il sostegno incondizionato degli uomini che comanda, uniti all’amore di una donna forte e determinata come lui, gli permetteranno di salvare molte vite. E di conquistare un prezioso trofeo: la certezza che la Roma dei padri, la città e l’ideale difesi nei secoli da eserciti ineguagliabili, non è stata ancora sopraffatta dalla follia dei suoi imperatori.

Ai vertici delle classifiche
«È una lettura fulminante, ti costringe ad andare avanti fino alla fine, con personaggi meravigliosi e una spruzzata di humour nero. Anthony Riches è un eccellente storico e un eccellente scrittore.»
Conn Iggulden, autore di Il soldato di Roma
«Da esperto di questioni militari, Riches è in grado di portare nelle sue storie elementi drammatici di prima qualità, una narrazione vivida e un realismo storico molto efficace. Terrificanti scene di battaglia, pericolose strategie imperiali, loschi intrighi dei capi delle tribù: un resoconto brutale degli uomini in guerra.»
Burnley Express
«Già dalla prima pagina questo scrittore riesce a creare un ritmo acceso e a tenere viva la storia fino al climax finale. Il talento di Riches e la sua scrittura avvincente, capace di tinteggiare in modo così efficace il periodo in cui le azioni si svolgono, lasciano il lettore con il fiato sospeso.»
