This is the third book in Doherty’s “Legionary” series. It is 376 AD and the Emperor Valens has stripped the Persian frontier of its legions, sending every available man to Thracia in an effort to contain the rampaging Gothic hordes. Covetous eyes have fallen upon Rome’s trade rich by sparsely defended desert provinces. Shapur II, Shahanshah of the Sassanid Empire and his many client kings have long believed Rome’s eastern holdings to be theirs by ancestral right and those lands have never been more vulnerable. The Emperor Valens hopes that a Persian invasion can be staved off, not by the brute force of absent legions but by the tenacity of a hardy few. When Optio Numerius Vitellius Pavo and a select group of the XI Claudia are summoned to the Persian front, they leave Thracia behind, knowing little of what awaits them. All too soon it becomes clear to them that this is no ordinary mission. But for Pavo the burden is weightier still, for he knows that the east also holds something even more precious to him---the truth about his father.
