It is over a year since the mighty Roman army landed on the shores of Britain, anticipating little resistance. Yet, the savage warriors of the barbarian leader Caratacus continue to torment the legions. Now, though, the Emperor Claudius needs a victory to make his position safe, and the time has come to silence the enemy permenantly.
As the Roman troops gather on the eve of battle, centurions Cato and Macro share the confidence of their comrades. Tomorrow a final, decisive blow will surely annihilate Caracatus.
But the battle does not follow the expected course. Inevitably, blame passes down the line. And the most ruthless army in the known world prepares to inflict dreadful punishment on the very men who could bring the long campaign in Britain to a triumphant conclusion.

After giving birth to a son, Catherine LeVendeur is looking forward to an idyllic life with her husband, Edgar, in Paris. Yet her contentment is shattered when she and Edgar receive tragic news from Scotland; Edgar’s two oldest brothers have been ambushed and murdered, and Edgar must return home to help his family avenge their deaths.
Once in Scotland, Catherine is surprised to learn that Edgar’s family is not what she imagined: His father, Waldeve, is a cold tyrant, and his remaining siblings are strange and full of secrets. Separated from Edgar in their efforts to uncover the truth, Catherine becomes a stranger in a strange land, searching for refuge in a war-torn country at the same time she searches for her husband. Yet she knows that any haven she finds will only be temporary until she answers this question: Who among Waldeve’s enemies hates him passionately enough to destroy his whole family – including, she fears, his new infant grandson?

Review:
‘In the bleak setting of a half-derelict hospital for the very old, Molloy, an ageing doctor, keep watch with the dying…in holding the hands and wiping the faces of the dying, he is making amends for the fact that his mother dies alone. Hill then draws us in another layer, and we follow the life story of Molloy’s mpther, Flora. Grave, fiercely independent yet vulnerable, her character is formed by a series of bereavements and bitter dissapoinments… Skillfully structured, seamlessly blending past and present…Hill’s lean, sharp prose and consistently detached tone create a severe and rather beautiful book…that flows silkily off the page’ – Independent
