But though the land is conquered, it is far from tamed. A puppet king is doing little to calm the hatred of the tribes and bring them under Roman rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFighting is in Optio Horatius Figulus' blood. His Celtic ancestry is mocked by his fellow soldiers, but it gives him the toughness essential for survival. His Centurion, though, is a very different kind of soldieramp;mdash;one who seems to care more about paperwork than leading his men into battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSent on a thankless mission deep in hostile territory, in the knowledge that to fail will bring the end of his military career, Figulus finds his courageamp;mdash;and that of his menamp;mdash;tested to the very limit. And, more than anyone, Figulus understands the Celtic mind. He knows that, even utterly crushed in battle, their warriors routed and the Druids driven from their hill forts, the tribesmen of Britannia will sooner die than surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156214628592,"sku":"2940169223309","price":29.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169223309_p0.jpg?v=1763675406","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169223309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
