Blood Oath is part of the HEROES series, created with series editor Frank Cottrell Boyce. Roman Britain, north of Hadrian's Wall, 180AD. A teenage boy has witnessed the killing of his father by a savage warrior from a rival tribe.
Blind with rage and grief he swears vengeance. When the chance comes to train as a Roman legionary he jumps at it, desperate to learn. He is a natural fighter, but can he acquire the self-control he will need to become a true warrior and defeat his sworn enemy? And just how far will his conscience allow him to take the fight against the tribe?
