Description
Book Three of Conn Hallinan's Middle Empire series. In these years, the Roman empire was besieged by powerful allied tribes while corruption, inflation and political plots destabilized it from within. Against this backdrop, Marcus and his loyal comrades Flavius and Demartus are ordered to free the city of Tarraco, in Catalonia, from Frankish occupation. As Roman fighters barricade themselves inside a tower and Demartus' love, a red-headed Celt and fierce fighter, is hunted by the Franks, the interweaving political intrigue, military strategy, and struggle of civilians under siege bring intense drama to the denouement of a remarkable series.
