The Last Frontier

by Griff Hosker Book 8 in the The Sword of Cartimandua series.

4.4(928)

In AD 117, Trajan is dead and Hadrian inherits an empire whose northern British frontier remains insecure. Livius Sallustius is sent to Britannia to rebuild an auxiliary cavalry force capable of responding to raids while the new emperor reconsiders how far Roman power should extend.

Military reconstruction is complicated by murder, assassination attempts and officers who resist Livius’s authority. The appearance of Morwenna, the Red Witch, adds another uncertain ally to a frontier already divided by Roman politics and tribal opposition. The novel moves from the imperial centre to northern Britannia, where restoring discipline to one cavalry unit becomes part of Hadrian’s larger shift from conquest toward a defended frontier.
