From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the final book in his authentic, action-packed trilogy set on the frontiers of the Roman Empire.
AD 117: BRITANNIA. Flavius Ferox, Silurian prince turned Roman centurion, is trying to live a quiet life of dignified leisure, overseeing his wife's estate and doing his best to resist the urge to murder an annoying neighbour – until someone else does it for him. As Hadrian becomes emperor, the whole world seems to be changing: friends become enemies, enemies claim they are friends, and a new threat lurks in the shadows.
Five years later, Hadrian has journeyed to Britannia, inspecting the first installations of his great wall. But when war breaks out, he has deadly plans for Ferox. With families divided, he must protect those he loves and decide whether or not to save Hadrian's reputation – and life – as Roman Britain is changed forever.
Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The Wall is the final book in the City of Victory trilogy, set in the Roman empire from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy.
