The unmissable conclusion to Tim Leach's critically acclaimed historical adventure series set in the Roman Empire.

180 AD. North of the Wall, Sarmatian warrior Kai and his adopted tribe, the Votadini, struggle for survival, cast into unfamiliar lands by Roman reprisals.

When news arrives that an old enemy is in charge of the Votadini's hated foes, a confederation of tribes known as the Painted People, and has roused them to action, Kai heads south towards the Wall, hoping to ally with the Romans against this resurgent threat.

Meanwhile, the Romans have heard tales of butchery and mayhem beyond the Wall. Lucius, Legate of the North, believes Kai and his allies who are responsible, and sends forth an expedition to capture his old comrade.

Can Kai and his loved ones survive the onslaught - or will the combined might of Rome and the hatred of their enemies spell the end for the warrior and his tribe?

The Hollow Throne is perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Adrian Goldsworthy.
