A Roman slave with a serpent tattoo uncovers his true barbarian identity. So begins a struggle for power that captures feuding Frankish warlords and Marcus Aurelius' invading Roman army in a storm that sweeps across ancient Europe.
Fredrik Nath is a full time neurosurgeon. He lives in the northeast of England with his wife and daughter, his three sons having grown up and flown the coop. In his time, he has run twenty consecutive Great North Run half-marathons, trekked to 6000m in Nepal, crossed the highest mountain pass in the world and began writing, like John Buchan, "because he ran out of penny-novels to read and felt he should write his own." Fred loves a good story, which is why he writes.
