      MEET MARCUS VALERIUS, THE LEGENDARY HERO.

      'A master of the genre' The Times

      Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run for his life - condemned to dishonourable death by power-crazed emperor Commodus.

      The plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall and lie low until he can hope for justice.

      Then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal, violent war.

      Thrilling, authentic and action-packed, Wounds of Honour launched the incredible EMPIRE series, and catapulted Anthony Riches to the very top of the historical adventure genre.
