Titus Sulla, governor of Eboracum, has disappeared without trace. Decius Varenus, a veteran centurion newly recruited into the frumentarii, is dispatched from Rome to investigate. Anticipating a straightforward inquiry, Varenus quickly discovers that nothing in Britannia is as it seems.On arrival, he encounters hostility and suspicion from Romans and native tribes alike. Whispers persist of ancient powers stirring beneath the bleak hills of the west. Whispers that Varenus dismisses as mere superstition, until the evidence leads him into places no Roman has willingly entered.As the investigation draws him from the barren Fans of the west to the mist-shrouded Fens of the east, Varenus finds himself caught between enemies and drawn into an unlikely alliance with a fierce warrior queen. And when myth springs to life, what began as a search for a missing governor becomes a desperate struggle for survival against a darkness older than Rome itself. Facing intrigue, savage frontier warfare, and ancient supernatural horror, Decius Varenus must confront not only the enemies of Rome, but the terrifying realisation that some legends are better left buried.A thundering sequel to Robert E Howard’s Worms of the Earth, the first in a new trilogy! 6
