From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the final book in his authentic, action-packed trilogy set on the frontiers of the Roman Empire.

Britannia, AD 117: Roman centurion Flavius Ferox is trying to live a quiet life of dignified leisure, overseeing his wife's estate and doing his best to resist the urge to murder an annoying neighbour – until someone else does it for him. Dragged back into a life of violence, Ferox finds himself chasing raiders, fighting chieftains and negotiating with kings, journeying far into the north just as war breaks out.

With the new emperor, Hadrian, sending agents from Rome, the whole world seems to be changing: old friends become enemies, enemies claim they are friends, and new and deadly threats lurk in the shadows.

When, five years later, Hadrian himself comes to Britannia to inspect his great wall, a new war erupts suddenly, dividing tribes and families. Ferox is the only one who can save the emperor – but with his family, and his own life, in danger, Ferox must first decide whose side he is on...

Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The Wall, set against the construction of Hardian's Wall, is the final book in the City of Victory trilogy from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy.©2023 Adrian Goldsworthy (P)2023 Head of Zeus Action & Adventure Ancient Fantasy Historical Historical Fiction Medieval Romance Fiction Ancient History War Rome Royalty

loved this whole series, thoughly enjoyed it. however, I'm left with that sadness when you finish a book or series. Ferox, Vindex and Bran et al had become family.

This has been a brilliant series. This one felt like it should be the last in the series and maybe some loose ends were tied up rather conveniently but I do look forward to seeing what comes next from Goldsworthy.
