The Iron Between: Anvil

The year is CE 77. Vespasian appoints Agricola as governor of Britannia.

Upon arriving, Agricola is told of an Ordovician attack led by his enemy, Luchar, where a cavalry outpost has been destroyed, and the sons of Rome’s senators massacred. He remembers a similar event when he was a Banded Tribune seconded to Suetonius. Those memories bring back the horror of his friend Quintus’s murder at the hands of the Celta warrior.

Now, bent on revenge, Agricola begins the systematic annihilation of the Ordovician people, which leads him to the conquest of Mona and beyond…
