It`s a mad and violent world. They must be equal to it.Ex-gladiators Drust, Kag, and their brutal band are as dirt-ridden and downbeat as ever. Drawn to the Syrian frontier at the edge of the Roman world, they are presented with a mysterious riddle from old companions. In the scorching heat, schemes and rumours breed like flies on a corpse. To survive a deadly plot, Drust and his men must face all challengers along with Mother Nature`s rage. Sometimes they`ll run as fast as they can pray to the Gods. But sometimes they`ll have to stand, and fight... Filled with gristle, gore and jaw-dropping action, perfect for fans of Giles Kristian, David Gilman and Conn Iggulden.
