The second of David Gemmell's Rigante stories, this one is pretty much a direct follow-on from Sword in the Storm, but now following Connavar's illegitimate son Bane instead of Connavar himself.

As before, it's also very much a Scottish highlands / Rome type of deal, with Band initially driven out of his homeland and travelling to the city of Stone (very much 'our' Rome in its Julius Caesar heyday) where he becomes a Gladiator, all so he can get revenge on the man he believes has killed the love of his life (met after being driven out).

Of course, as a Gemmell work, it's not as simple as that, with the finale of this 'tying back' to the very beginning of the previous work.

As with pretty much all Gemmell, well worth a read.
