Alex and Bria have finally found each other, and despite the obstacles in their way, they fight to make their relationship work. However a monstrous woman from the past comes back to haunt them, seeking vengeance with a pack of bloodthirsty minions at her side. She only wants to ensure that Bria finds no happiness, and she doesn't mind leaving a trail of bodies in her wake. Now Alex faces certain death, and Bria is at risk of losing the one thing that makes her life worth living. As they fight, they must learn to depend on each other or drift apart. (Excerpt) All three monsters exchanged roars, as they stared each other down. Then with another roar the woman got up on her hind legs and charged Saul. He collided with her and locked horns, and for a second he thought he was holding his own. It turns out she wasn't trying very hard, for in an instant she shoved him onto his back. Before he could get back up the man went for Saul's legs. The bite cut through his flesh and fractured the bone, causing him to roar in pain. With great difficulty, he got back up, but his leg could barely hold any weight. The woman charged him again, but he repelled her with a well placed swipe to her face. That gave the man an opportunity to claw Saul across the chest.

Co writing with Csteptoe Overview: Roman Britain, 43 - 410 AD Conquered for vanity, half-heartedly Romanised and eventually abandoned to its fate, Roman Britain represents a fascinating microcosm of the rise and fall of an empire. Why Britain? Why did the Romans invade Britain in 43 AD? Their empire already extended from the Channel coast to the Caucasus, from the northern Rhineland to the Sahara. The great age of conquest had ended a few decades before. Three legions had been destroyed in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest by rebellious German tribesmen in 9 AD, and the emperor Augustus concluded that the empire was overextended and called a halt to new wars of conquest. Britain was an afterthought. It was not about economics. Rome's rulers were already the richest men in history. Nor was it about military security. The Channel was as effective a frontier as one could wish for. The invasion of Britain was a war of prestige. The 'mad' emperor Caligula had been assassinated in 41 AD, and an obscure member of the imperial family, Claudius, had been elevated to the throne. The new emperor faced opposition from the Senate, Rome's House of Lords. Claudius needed a quick political fix to secure his throne. What better than a glorious military victory in Britain? The army was the core of the Roman state. In a few centuries, it had transformed Rome from a small city-state into the greatest empire of antiquity. Its conquests more than paid for themselves in booty, slaves and tribute. War was highly profitable. Roman culture reflected this, valuing military achievement above all else. Roman leaders had to prove themselves first and foremost as army commanders. And where better for Claudius to prove himself than in Britain?
