Legions of the Moon

Quintus and his stepson Manius are frumentarii, the Roman Empire's secret police. Dispatched to Britannia on a mission whose purpose is kept veiled from them, they join forces with the formidable female spy Tita Amatia and find themselves  embroiled in plot, counter-plot and assassination, unsure of either their allies or their enemies. They journey from bustling, cosmopolitan, civilised Londinium to the wild North - a hostile snowbound land.
Besieged  by an alliance of rebellious local tribes, surrounded by intrigue, assailed by matters of the heart and personal ambition, they become reluctant players in a struggle between a ruthless imperial government and others seeking control of the Empire. A brilliantly researched authentic stroll into the past that fuses Gladiator, Game of Thrones, British cozy mysteries & father-son relationships, it also wags an ironic finger at the state of the world today...
