The Beasts In The Arena
A gripping short story, set in the world of Romanitas, plus an extended extract of Romanitas, chronicling the fortunes of the Roman Empire in a paralellel modern world . . .

For all three, the only way to survive may shake the Empire to its roots.
A fast-moving, compelling story, brilliantly imagined – CONN IGGULDEN
