About this listen
Promoted to the elite Praetorian Guard in the thick of battle, a young legionary is thrust into a seedy world of imperial politics and corruption. Tasked with uncovering a plot against the newly crowned Emperor Commodus, his mission takes him from the cold Danubian border all the way to the heart of Rome, the villa of the Emperor’s scheming sister, and the great Colosseum.
What seems a straightforward if terrifying assignment soon descends into Machiavellian treachery and peril as everything in which young Rufinus trusts and believes is called into question, and he faces warring commanders, Sarmatian cannibals, vicious dogs, mercenary killers and even a clandestine Imperial agent. In a race against time to save the Emperor, Rufinus will be introduced, willing or not, to the great game.

Another glorious SJA Turney journey begins!
Having finished the mind bogglingly awesome Marius' Mules series by this author, I thought I had reached the summit of Roman stories (seriously, check out that series..).
Starting a new journey with this novel I was thrilled to see Turney is just as masterful with intrigue, tension and suspense as he is with war and battles! Fast, full of action and a likeable protagonist is the recipe that makes this book come to life. A true wizard of writting weaving a story you will crave like water to a thirsty man. 10/10.
