Shahr-Baraz and his Arab allies
stand at the brink of victory. The sorcerer Dahak has broken
the back of the Eastern Empire, the Roman fleet has been swept
aside, even Egypt is threatened by an army out of the Decapolis...
Emperor Galen and his Legions seem outmatched and out-numbered.
The key to victory - to the survival of Rome herself - lies in the
hands of a young man with a terrible burden, and the wits of a
general dead for two thousand years.
But Dahak is determined to strike -
regardless of the cost in human life - and restore his ancient
reign over the Earth and all her peoples.
