About this audiobook

Don't miss the first epic instalment in Adam lofthouse's Shadow of Rome series 🔥 An action-packed, immersive military adventure for fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell ⚔️

'Up there with the best in the genre' - Matthew Harffy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rebellion is in the air at the far reaches of empire. 🔥

Wall of Hadrian, Britannia, AD 367. Tribune Sixtus Victorinus is scouting north of the Wall when he first sees the smoke. Riding south he finds a province in chaos, the local populace in flight, the soldiers absent.

Britannia is ablaze, overrun with barbarians and Valentia is the word on everyone’s lips. But no one seems to have the first clue what it means...

Victorinus may have let his life run to ruin and drunk his youth away, but now he must forge himself into the soldier he always wanted to be, the hero his children think he is.

Because his family are among the missing, and traitors lurk much closer than he could ever believe.

To save his family, he must first save an empire. ⚔️

Please note: This title was previously published as Valentia
