In the dog days of Rome, a mission to the edge of the world . . . First in the Brothers of the Sands trilogy from the author of The Oathsworn Series. Drust and Kag, two ex-gladiators, are met with an unusual request. Powerful Servilius Structus sends them deep into Scotland, land of the Caledonii, to find and secure a woman and her young son. Accompanied by a crew of fellow rogues, they will risk everything on an insane quest and a daring escape. With decadence and corruption in the air, the consequences of their failure are immeasurable, for the Empire itself is at stake. A searing, blood-soaked historical adventure, perfect for fans of Giles Kristian, David Gilman and Conn Iggulden. Praise for the novels of Rob Low “A company of warriors, desperate battles, an enthralling read.” —Bernard Cornwell, New York Times–bestselling author “Low mixes history, archeology, mythology and nonstop, often-sanguinary action into a fast-moving adventure tale.” —Publishers Weekly “An epic tale of hardship, triumph, betrayal and brotherhood.” —S. J. A. Turney, author of Marius’ Mules XV: The Ides of March
