Description
The Wolves of the North is the fifth instalment in the Warrior of Rome series and the opening volume of a new trilogy within the saga. Set in AD 263, it plunges readers into a turbulent period of barbarian invasions and violent unrest threatening to fracture the Roman Empire. The seasoned warrior Ballista is tasked with a dangerous mission — to travel deep into the northern frontier and secretly pit the nomadic tribes of the steppe against one another. His journey brings him face-to-face with the Heruli, known as the Wolves of the North, a brutal and fearsome people whose savagery is unmatched.
As Ballista and his companions navigate the hostile terrain, they realise something sinister is stalking them, leaving a grisly trail of mutilated bodies in its wake. Far from the safety of Rome and among unfamiliar allies and enemies, Ballista must confront the chilling possibility that the deadliest danger lies within his own ranks. Rich in historical detail and tense with intrigue, The Wolves of the North blends gripping action with the political and personal struggles of life on the Empire’s edge.
