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.
Un autore di romanzi storici tradotto in tutto il mondo
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.»
