Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

AD 117. Northern Britannia. The frontier is about to face an enemy Rome has never encountered before.

Marcus Valerius Severus is a Roman commander serving on the northern frontier of Britannia. Far from Italy and the woman he loves, Livia, Marcus is accustomed to the dangers of war, the harshness of the frontier and the constant demands of Rome.

But something is wrong beyond the frontier.

Villages fall silent. Messages stop arriving. Patrols disappear. Then the dead begin to rise.

What starts as rumours soon becomes a terrifying reality. The Roman military machine is tested as roads, supply lines and communications collapse. Marcus and his men are forced to confront an enemy that does not fight like any army they have known.

As the northern frontier begins to fall, Romans and Britons who once stood on opposite sides must make an impossible alliance. Among them are soldiers, local families and survivors who have lost almost everything.

With the dead advancing and the Roman world around them breaking apart, Marcus must lead the survivors south.

Their journey will take them through abandoned settlements, ruined roads, desperate battles and the remains of a frontier that can no longer protect them.

In a world where Rome's greatest strength is discipline, courage and the Eagle itself, Marcus must decide what matters most: the orders of Rome or the lives of the people depending on him.

The Dead of the Northern Frontier is a historical horror novel set in Roman Britain, combining military suspense, ancient history, survival and supernatural horror.
