Triumph in Dust by Ian Ross

11 July 2019 By Editor

When the simmering conflict between Rome and Persia threatens once again to ignite into open war, there is only one man the Emperor Constantine can trust to hold the eastern frontier.

Triumph in DustAurelius Castus, retired general of the empire, has fought long and hard for Rome. When the summons comes to command an army once more, he obeys with a heavy heart. Is he still the fearsome fighting machine of old? Will his young, ambitious officers respect and follow a great soldier of former days?

But when tragedy strikes the imperial household, Castus must race to defend the last bulwark standing against the might of Persia.

In the pitiless heat of the Syrian desert, engulfed by whirling sandstorms and facing a fearless, treacherous foe, Castus knows that the fight ahead will be the fiercest he has ever known, and will very probably be his last.

Triumph in Dust, the sixth book in Ian Ross‘s Twilight of Empire series, is published on 11 July in paperback. It came out in hardback on 10 January, 2019.
