"A superb portrait of a bloody and brutal age... An ambitious and entertaining series." Richard Foreman, author of Spies of Rome 568. King Arthur's grandson, Coel ap Amhar, tells the story of his life. His tale begins after the death of Arthur in battle. Britain is plunged into chaos. Coel and his mother flee overseas. They take Arthur's sword, Caledfwlch, once possessed and wielded by Julius Caesar. Known as The Red Death, the blade is rumoured to possess unearthly powers. Coel joins the Roman army under Flavius Belisarius, the one of the most renowned soldiers of the age, and fights in the Roman invasion of North Africa. The Briton makes an enemy of the corrupt Empress of the East, Theodora, and falls into the clutches of Gelimer, the mad King of the Vandals. To prove himself before the Emperor, Coel is forced to fight for his life in the arena against Theodora's champion. The outcome of the bloody duel will decide not only his fate, but that of the Empire. Caesar's sword will be bloodied once more.
