Sommaire:
The first book in Adam Lofthouse's Enemy of the Empire series. An action-packed adventure set outside the boundaries of Ancient Rome.

Raven: Defier of Rome is a book I wish I'd written!' - Michael Jecks

Chief Killer. Battle Turner. Oathbreaker.

Alaric is an enemy of Rome.

144 AD. Alaric Hengistson, leader of the Ravensworn, revels in his many fear-fuelled names whispered in the hearth flames. Cunning in battle, a ruthless war lord. He sleeps sound in the knowledge that he has been chosen by the Gods for a higher purpose ' to rise up against the tyranny of an Empire.

For years he has thwarted Rome's attempts to gain control over the land that has long resisted them. His land. Germania. However the rules are changing, and new deals are struck between the conquering Roman legions and the feuding Germanic tribes. Deals that could prove Alaric's downfall.

As the eagles march with the wolves, together hunting the Raven, Alaric must prove his legend or watch his Ravensworn burn in flames.

A must read for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy, Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.
