LEADERS ARE FORGED IN THE FIRES OF WAR

Iron Age warriors Dug and Lowa have captured Maidun castle and defeated Zadar, but it’s soon clear that this was only the easy part.

Other British tribes are as dangerous as the coming Romans, there’s another menace approaching from across the sea and Spring cannot control her magical powers.

Meanwhile, Ragnall heads for debauched Rome where he meets Rome’s charismatic general, Julius Caesar, and three of Lowa’s top warriors cross the Channel to stop the advance of a superbly skilful, brutal Roman army.

War is coming. Who will pay its price?
