Vengeance (Valens)
Northern Britain, during the reign of Antoninus Pius. Aelius Valens reaches a remote fort isolated by snow, where a reduced garrison, civilians and a dangerous prisoner are forced into uneasy proximity. The apparent quiet conceals a carefully prepared act of revenge.
When violence begins, the fort’s isolation makes escape and reinforcement almost impossible. Valens must understand the grievance driving the attack while using limited men and supplies to keep survivors alive. The novella turns the Hadrian’s Wall frontier into a confined survival story in which old injuries return with military force.
