Warrior of Rome V: The Wolves of the North



AD263 - the Roman Empire is close to turmoil, violent uprising threatening to shatter the fragile balance of power.

In the north, the tribes are increasingly bold in their raids on the Imperium - their savagery unlike anything Rome has known before. Ballista must undertake his most treacherous journey yet - a covert attempt to turn the barbarians against each other. He must face the Heruli - the Eaters of Flesh, the Wolves of the North - the most brutal tribe of them all. As Ballista and his retinue make their journey, someone - or something - is hunting them, picking them off one by one, and leaving a trail of mutilated corpses and terror.

Ballista is in a strange land, among strange people, but is it possible that the greatest threat may come from within his own familia?
