Rebel (Paperback)

When defeat is inevitable there are only two options: go out on their terms, or yours.At last, the Roman Empire is winning one of its most savage wars. King Pinnes is dead. The Pannonian tribes have surrendered. Only the Dalmatians under Bato remain in the fight, and this brutal leader holds the life of a former Roman standard bearer in his hands. Corvus is spared only on condition that he continues to fight against Rome as a rebel, but his enemies are everywhere. Not only do the Romans want his head, but the treacherous Ziva - his supposed ally - is a constant threat. With the Pannonians knocked out of the war, the entire might of Rome is directed against Bato's army. Legion after legion covers the landscape. Sieges are laid. Towns burn. Thousands die. There is no mercy. And there, in the fire of the rebellion's last stand, Corvus must face his greatest betrayer - Marcus.
