Simon Scarrow, 2022, Series: The Big Book. Historical Novel
In the bleak winter of 44 AD, Roman forces in Britain await spring to resume their campaign to conquer the island. The defiant Britons, meanwhile, grow more sophisticated in their resistance, not shying away from striking the Romans from behind. General Plautus's wife and children are captured, and Centurion Macro and his loyal friend Cato must hurry to prevent the druids from sacrificing the captives to their dark gods.
Vespasian and the Second Legion advance in their campaign to capture the southwest. Macro and the newly appointed Centurion Cato are tasked with helping Verica, the elderly ruler of the Atrebates, transform his tribal army into a formidable force capable of defending his rule from enemy raids. Despite the Atrebates' official allegiance to Rome, many are hostile to the Roman invaders, meaning the heroes must first win the loyalty of the wavering militia.
