It's a mad and violent world. They must be equal to it. Ex-gladiators Drust, Kag, and their brutal band are as dirt-ridden and downbeat as ever. Drawn to the Syrian frontier at the edge of the Roman world, they are presented with a mysterious riddle from old companions. In the scorching heat, schemes and rumours breed like flies on a corpse. To survive a deadly plot, Drust and his men must face all challengers along with Mother Nature's rage. Sometimes they'll run as fast as they can pray to the Gods. But sometimes they'll have to stand, and fight... Filled with gristle, gore and jaw-dropping action, perfect for fans of Giles Kristian, David Gilman and Conn Iggulden.

It all started thousands of years ago when the earth's crust split in to two halves in the center it had formed a blue crystal but little did we know that there was a life form living in it so evil and powerful known as the red serpent it could destroy cities and lands with one devastating blow. We have been tracking its movement for years. When it destroyed all life on our planet it stopped and layer dormant till now when a portal opened up on your planet. We sent the strangers to recover the blue crystals and destroy it but it had split in to three pieces and scatted before they could destroy it and now we have tracked some of the crystals here in your time and it's getting ready for destruction once again.
