A novel. Arion, the son of an Alemannic slave and a Roman noblewoman, unwittingly becomes a pawn in a conspiracy. He is increasingly entangled in the political catastrophe of his time. All he longs for is personal happiness. Can Arion master his destiny? More than 1,900 years ago, construction began on the Limes, the Roman border fortifications. It was intended to protect the Roman Empire and control border traffic. Revolts among various tribes destabilize the empire. In these uncertain times unfolds the saga of an Alemannic and a Roman family, whose fates intertwine through the pressure on the outer borders of the Roman Empire. Their shared bond and hope: Arion. An exceptionally rich and detailed adventure and historical novel. A gripping tale from a bygone world that nonetheless feels so vivid and familiar.
