Rome 400 BCE. Greed, envy and broken trust. A prophecy of fame is spoken and the commander of the legions wants it for himself, whatever the cost. Driven by the constant march of the enemy the young Marcus Furius finds he is a natural leader of men as war rages and battles are hard-fought. With success comes jealousy and resentment. Hatred soon follows. Fighting to retain his dignity, to see Rome smash her foes and to become the man for whom the prophecy is spoken, Marcus Furius must learn to be a soldier and a statesman if he is ever to become Dictator of Rome. This is the first book in the saga of the life of a real historical figure, Marcus Furius Camillus, the greatest General of Rome before Julius Caesar.
