Legionnaire. The Cross in Flames

The Cross in flames is the sequel novel to the critically acclaimed Barbarians from the North in Jan Ove Ekeberg’s acclaimed Legionnaire-series. The struggle for power is at its most brutal in the year 310. Constantine is one of seven emperors of the Roman Empire; civil war and anarchy reign. Nithijo of Avaldsnes, Magnus Jute of Jutland, and the shaman Urd of Öland all play their parts in this bloody drama. Constantine’s goal is the conquest of Rome. He prepares to cross the Alps with his army at any cost. But it is not enough to defeat his enemies; a people must be won over. For even more important than victory in battle, is winning and protecting the peace.
