Description
TREACHERY AMID THE MENACE AND MAGIC OF THE GERMAN WILDERNESS. They call it a road, this rutted and potholed dirt track that meanders to the northern sea where amber is found. To former Army tribune Marcus Carinna, it's a life-threatening leap from the Roman frontier into a wilderness teeming with hostile barbarians, dangerous beasts, and giant trees said to engulf sleeping men at night.But the Amber Road is the trail he must follow. Disgraced by an attack on the emperor Caligula that cost his father's life, he must find Aurima, the bold and willful Germanic priestess who can help him restore his family honor.When an imperial spymaster recruits him to lead an expedition into the Danubian wilderness, Marcus jumps at the opportunity to search for her. But as his troops slog along the Amber Road, he will discover that he is not out of reach of his enemies' vengeance--and that saving the woman he loves is going to demand more heart and will than he knew he possessed.
