Overview

Only when fear is at its most intense can true heroism come into the light. For ages, an ancient evil has been hiding in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, an enemy of the god Mithras, Lord of Light.

It falls to Gaius Justus Vitalis and a few warriors favoured by Mithras to hunt down and destroy the forces of undead spurred on by this ancient evil. Summoning all of their courage, they must wade through horror and rivers of blood to bring Mithras' light into the darkness, or else see the destruction of Rome, the Empire, and all they hold dear.

""Raw and unswerving in war and peace..."" ""Graphic, uncompromising and honest..."" ""In my opinion, I rank Mr. Haviaras with the greats such as Cornwell, Smith, Scarrow..."" ""A cracking good read!"" ""Historical fiction at its best! ... if you like your historical fiction to be an education as well as a fun read, this is the book for you!"" ""An outstanding and compelling novel!"" ""I would add this author to some of the great historical writers such as Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell. The characters were described in such a way that it was easy to picture them as if they were real and have lived in the past, the book flowed with an ease that any reader, novice to advanced can enjoy and become fully immersed..."" ""One in a series of tales which would rank them alongside Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Robert Ludlum, James Boschert and others of their ilk. The story and character development and the pacing of the exciting military actions frankly are superb and edge of your seat! The historical environment and settings have been well researched to make the story lines so very believable!! I can hardly wait for what I hope will be many sequels! If you enjoy Roman historical fiction, you do not want to miss this series!""
