Product Description
Rome, 77 AD. Darius Drusus, just fifteen, has allowed his
smouldering rage at his abusive centurion father to flare up
into a blaze of emotion. An attempt to protect his mother goes
wrong and he finds he must now flee home, leaving his father
for dead.
Arriving in the port town of Ostia, Darius is convinced his
destiny lies in his own hands, but all that changes upon
meeting an old ropemaker called Ambrus who has been
waiting for him these past fifty years…
In an epic tale, Darius discovers he is to become the
Auctoratus, the volunteer gladiator, who together with Ambrus
and ex-slave Tertius form a triumvirate of friends who are put
on a path to rescue the world from evil.
Never before told story of angels, gladiators, demons and
adventures which force the fate of humankind into the hands
of the Auctoratus.
From the heart of a boy comes the strength of a man.
