Publisher's Summary

Rewarded for saving the emperor's life in battle, centurion Aurelius Castus is promoted to the Corps of Protectores, the elite imperial bodyguard, the swords around the throne.

But he soon discovers the court to be just as hazardous as the battlefield; behind the gilded facade of empire, there are spiralling plots, murderous betrayals and dangerous seductions. And one relentless enemy.

Fabulous Story

Ian Ross has crafted a fabulous story. The narration is by Jonathan Keeble. I found this series of books , by looking for more novels Jonathan Keeble narrated . He is my favourite narrator . I listen to the first book in this series , I feel both are stand alone story’s . I now going to listen to the next book. Great entertainment if you enjoy historical fiction . Highly recommended
