Summary

Rome is in peril...

The old order is changing. Centurion Aurelius Castus has been summoned back from Britain to find himself caught up in a treasonous conspiracy threatening to bring down the Emperor Constantine.

Rewarded for saving the emperor's life, Castus is promoted to the elite imperial bodyguard: the swords around the throne.

But he soon discovers the court to be as dangerous as the battlefield.

Behind the gilded facade of empire lurks a nest of traitors and one relentless enemy.
