About this audiobook
March alongside the Goths in this unique blend of prose and poetry that recounts the tribal defense against the invading Roman legions. The narrative focuses on the communal life of the kindred and the tragic destiny of their war-duke, who must choose between a long life and the salvation of his people. By weaving supernatural elements with historical conflict, the book recreates the ethos of the Northern sagas. It is a powerful evocation of heroism and the collective spirit of a free people facing the machinery of empire.
