Bound to the will of the Emperor, the Sarmatians are ready to fight and eager to die     death in battle is the only escape from the dishonour of their defeat.\u003cbr\u003eExiled from their home lands, they are ordered to take the Iron Way to the far north and the very edge of the Empire. Here, a great wall of stone cuts across the land as straight as the stroke of a sword. On one side, Rome's dominion; on the other, mist and rumours     stories of men closer to giants, of warriors who fight without fear or restraint.\u003cbr\u003eFor a people who knew no borders, who were promised war, garrison duty is cruel punishment. But as insurrection stirs on both sides of the wall, Kai will discover that every barrier has its weaknesses     and he will have his chance to fight, perhaps to die.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviewers on the Sarmatian Trilogy and Tim Leach- \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Roman military adventure at its best.
