Iron Dawn

The first book in the Barra the Pict series

Against the clash of ancient Mediterranean kingdoms...Amid a world of piracy, intrigue, violence, and sorcery...

It has been five years since the end of the Trojan War. In the Phoenician city of Tyre, Barra the Pict, an axe-wielding warrior woman from the north, plies her mercenary trade. But when an evil necromancer threatens to unleash an army of the undead upon the bustling port city, Barra becomes embroiled in a deadly power struggle. Faced with the horrors of such malevolent powers, Barra -- and her partners Leucas, a mighty Athenian, and Kheperu, a cunning practitioner of Egyptian magic -- begin a battle that goes beyond the fight for supremacy. It is a battle for their lives....
