Warlord of Britannia by Simon Scarrow

The enthralling new drama in the epic story of Caratacus: the barbarian king who led the tribes of Britannia against mighty Rome. As the military leaders of the Roman Empire watch from the sidelines, Britannia's warlord Caratacus fights to unite the warring tribes.

Set in AD 43 Britannia, Caratacus is warlord of his tribe, second only to King Cunobelinus in power. The island's clans are constantly at war, and Caratacus has relentlessly driven new alliances, though these are ready to crumble. King Verica, an implacable enemy supported by ambitious Rome, is keen to exploit the divisions. With a Roman spy lurking in Cunobelinus's inner circle, Caratacus must rally thousands of men—warriors and ragtag bands of farmers—to turn into a disciplined fighting force capable of defying the mighty Roman military machine poised to invade. The future of their world is at stake in the most deadly battle of their lives.
