The plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall and lie low until he can hope for justice. Then a rebel army sweeps down from north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's tough enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArrows of Fury\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new Roman governor of Britannia must stamp out the northern rebellion or risk losing the province.
