Summary
When an act of murder throws the western provinces into turmoil, Aurelius Castus is ordered to take command of the military forces on the Rhine. But he soon discovers that the frontier is a place where the boundaries between civilisation and barbarism have little meaning.
At the very heart of the conflict are two boys. One is Emperor Constantine's young heir, Crispus. The other is Castus' own beloved son, Sabinus. Only Castus stands between them and men who would kill them.

Another great listen 10/10
Good story that followed on nicely from the previous audio books. It tied a lot of things together and the characters are still very believable. As with all audio books, it's so important to have someone good reading the story and I believe that Ian Ross has found the right guy with Jonathan Keeble because he is excellent.

poor castus
our hero once again suffers personal loss, and outrage at Rome's elite. an excellent tale of war intrigue and affairs of the heart, written with detail of the age, and once again enhanced by the narration of Jonathan keeble.

Another triumph
Once again, Ian Ross has further developed the adventures of Aurelius Castus against the historic background of the Roman emperial struggles in Gaul.
Ross creates a well developed story full of characters and villains.
To define the work of Jonathan Keeble as narration does no justice to his work. Keeble brings the book to life. His nuances of the locations, actions, and intimate moments are superb . The changes in emphasis place the reader in the midst of the action.
The book is first rate. That coupled with the work of Keeble makes it superb over and over again.

Really sorry this book has finished
Wonderfully exciting Roman intrigues and battles around AD320. Stunning narration from Jonathan Keeble that adds so much to the story. I highly recommend this book.
If you read Simon Scarrow then you’ll love this book.

Another gripping tale, full of twists and turns
This series of books set towards the dying days of the Roman Empire, continues to excite. With fine portrayals performed superbly by the narrator and well rounded characters, I look forward to the next instalment.
