Fergus MacAmergin is a man out of place. An Irish Celt, he passes as a Gaul and rides with the Roman cavalry, affirming Nero's control over the province. Fergus dreams of escaping the fetters ofhis birth and living freely as a citizen of Rome.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Fergus's commander makes a battlefield error, Fergus is blamed. He and his men are given a thankless task- a quest that spells danger, despair, and near-certain death. The mission- to find the Holy Lance, the spear that wounded Christ on the Cross.\u003cbr\u003eThe young Tribune Agricola is drawn into the quest, and he and Fergus must overlook their differences to survive. But there are plots and enemies everywhere. And just why is the Holy Lance so key to Roman mastery over Britannia?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews for Tim Hodkinson- \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A brilliantly written historical adventure' \u003cb\u003eHistorical Novel Society\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'A gripping action adventure' \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelisende's Library\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'An excellently written page-turner' \u003cb\u003eHistorical Writers' Association\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631885275294,"sku":"UBD-9781801105392","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781801105392.jpg?v=1774311107","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781801105392","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
