註釋
In a time of ravenous rulers and clashing swords, one man dares to defy the might of Rome in this epic prequel to
Hound
.
Rome, AD 34. While the Emperor Tiberius indulges himself in Capri, his cruel regent Sejanus rules in his place. It is a time of tyranny and terror.
Serpicus, a beast-hunter for Rome’s voracious Games, longs for a quiet life. But Sejanus’ uncle has made him an offer he cannot refuse, ordering him to travel to Germania, a region racked by tribal insurrection, there to take possession of a rare, dangerous beast.
To his companions, the mission is suicide. To make matters worse, there is a traitor in his hunting party. And when he reaches Germania, he will find something that turns his world upside down . . .
Ringing with the cacophony of battle, of steel against steel and the cries of men, this enthralling adventure is perfect for fans of Robert Low, Robert Fabbri, and Ben Kane.
