After

saving the emperor's life in Rome, Marcus and his comrades have been

sent across the sea to the wealthy, corrupt Greek metropolis of

Aegyptus, Alexandria.

An unknown enemy has slaughtered the garrison

of the Empire's last outpost before its border with the mysterious

kingdom of Kush.

Caravans can no longer reach the crucial Red Sea port

of Berenike, from which the riches of the East flow towards Rome.

The

Emperor's most trusted and most devious adviser has ordered Marcus's

commander Scaurus and his trusted officers to the south. With orders

that are tantamount to a suicide mission, and with only one slim hope of

success.

Can a small force of highly trained legionaries restore

the Empire's power in this remote desert no-man's-land, when faced by

the fanatical army of Kush's iron-fisted ruler?
